This comes barely a month since Zimbabwe recorded its biggest cash heist when armed robbers disarmed security guards who had given them a lift along the Harare Chinhoyi Highway and drove away with $2.5 Million US that was meant to be distributed to different ZB Bank branches.

ZNA also said some rogue soldiers deployed to different parts of the country were committing some of the armed robberies being recorded in some parts of the country.
