A grocery store was robbed by six machete-wielding robbers who left two people with severe stab wounds on Sunday night.

There has been a lull in cases of robberies involving machete-wielding gangs over the past few weeks after law enforcement agents launched a countrywide blitz against the so-called MaShurugwi gangs.
A resurgence in violent crime is a cause for concern.
