A group of eight armed robbery suspects pounced on Gwanyai Primary School in Mbare on Friday and went away with laptops, a TV set and a cellphone.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed the incident. They said the suspects jumped over the school durawall, and attacked a security guard who was on duty before ransacking the school offices. ZRP said:

In an unrelated incident, the ZRP launched a manhunt for suspects who stole US$4 500.00 cash from a bank in Gweru on Friday. Police said:
