7 evil robbers steal from 6 different houses in 1 night, others thoroughly beaten for ‘refusing to be robbed’
Over a harrowing four-hour window, a gang of seven masked men, described by victims as “robbers from hell,” executed a coordinated series of raids on six different households. The sheer speed and violence of the attacks have left the local community reeling, not just from the loss of property, but from the psychological trauma of a night where the law seemed momentarily absent.
The spree began shortly after midnight and continued relentlessly until 4 a.m. During this time, the gang moved from house to house with a level of efficiency that suggests either meticulous planning or a complete lack of fear regarding police intervention. Armed with a terrifying arsenal that included machetes, axes, hammers, sticks, shovels, and picks, the group did not merely steal; they terrorised. Those who were slow to respond to demands for cash or mobile phones were met with immediate and savage violence.
According to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), the total haul from the six houses amounted to approximately US$2,000 and several mobile handsets. While the monetary value might seem modest to some, the cost in hutman suffering was immense.y
Several residents were left with significant injuries after being “thoroughly beaten” with sticks and knobkerries.
The robbers, clad in black jackets and concealing their faces behind balaclavas, appeared to have a singular focus: liquid cash and portable electronics.
