Four armed men reportedly pounced on sleeping security guards at a service station before disappearing with over US$9,000.
Police confirmed the robbery in a statement, which occurred on November 17, at Meru Service Station in Kwekwe.
“Four armed men approached a Fawcett officer who was on duty and forced him to lie on the ground.
“They tied his hands and legs before dragging him into the building.
“A second Fawcett officer ran into the building and was also caught while attempting to notify the Fawcett Reaction Team.
“The suspects tied his hands and legs and dragged him into the same room where the other Fawcett officer was being held.
“The suspects then forced their way into a second room, where three Fawcett officers were asleep, and tied their hands and legs as well.
“They blasted a wall-mounted safe and stole US$9,700 before fleeing the scene,” said the statement.
