Police Arrest Fourth Suspect In Blue Circle Bus Robbery

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has confirmed the arrest of a fourth suspect linked to the robbery of passengers and crew on a Beitbridge-bound Blue Circle Buses coach at Vilivili Bus Stop in Mwenezi on Wednesday.

On Friday, July 19th, ZRP spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the arrest of three of the five suspects: Ashton Siziva (26), Sauro Dadirai (24), and Phineas Shumba (25). They were apprehended at Maporisa Business Centre, Maranda, Mwenezi.

In a post on their official X platform this Saturday, the ZRP announced that a fourth suspect, Talent Mlauzi (20), was arrested in Beitbridge on Friday in connection with the robbery.

This means that only one suspect, Elphias Mugurugudze, remains at large.

During the heist, the suspects made off with US$8,621 and ZAR 62,070.

According to a message that circulated on WhatsApp, the five suspected armed robbers boarded the Blue Circle Buses coach at the Mbare bus terminus in Harare and paid their fares for the trip to Beitbridge.

The message further revealed that when the bus reached Lundi, approximately 100 kilometres south of Masvingo, one of the men requested to be dropped off just after the turn-off to Neshuro. 

As the bus approached the designated spot, the suspected robber who had asked to disembark then signalled to his four accomplices, seemingly indicating that they all wanted to get off at that point.

When the bus stopped, the conductor went out first, at which point the suspected robber, brandishing a pistol, ordered the conductor back into the vehicle.

It is alleged that the other four suspects simultaneously drew out knives and commanded the driver to pull the bus off the highway. Reads the WhatsApp message:

The driver was ordered to turn left at Vilivili and instructed to switch off all lights. All passengers and crew were ordered to surrender cash. They threatened to kill anyone who did not surrender their belongings.

After robbing the passengers, one of the suspects fired a single shot into the air, presumably to further intimidate the passengers. The armed gang then swiftly disappeared into the surrounding darkness.

what amazes me is the silence from govt when robberies have become a daily menace and threat to citizens and state security.is it not time to declare a "state of emergency", involve all security apparatus,put them undercover in all places,buses,public places to timeously react/respond and catch these barbarians sooner rather than later or never.Zvakwana its time for serious action totongwa nema robbers here?

Vemabhazi vanofanira kuintroducer system yebook rinosainwa nemapassengers before departing. Passengers should give their details fully, this will help to counter such acts or even to identify pple incase of an accident. It's a sad story.

Great job from the ZRP! What's concerning is the age group of the suspects! It's either the state of employment for youths in the country has deteriorated up to youths taking robbery as an alternative or we have a generation of youthywhich seeks an easy life with less work or Mweya ye****
