A gang of five armed robbers stormed a Kwekwe funeral parlour in the dead of night and made off with smartphones worth US$410.
Midlands Provincial police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko said the daring raid took place at around 1AM on 23 October.
βProperty worth US$410 was lost when a five-man gang armed with iron bars and axes pounced on a funeral undertaker company in Kwekwe,β said Insp Mahoko.
The heartless criminals reportedly scaled over a precast wall before attacking two security guards and three workers who were on duty.
βThey started beating them with axe handles and iron bars while demanding to know where the companyβs cash was kept,β he said.
The thugs tied up their terrified victims, searched them, and took away a Huawei Y9, a G-Tel Delta, and a Samsung A06 β all valued at US$410 β before fleeing into the darkness.
Police have launched a manhunt for the culprits.
βWe are calling for anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of the suspects to approach the nearest police station,β said Insp Mahoko.
The callous attack has left many in Kwekwe shocked. The robbers showed no respect for the dead by targeting a place meant for mourning β not mayhem.
