Police Urge Motorists To Be On High Alert As Highway Robberies Rise

Police have issued a warning to motorists and public transport operators to remain vigilant as armed robbers are active on the country’s highways.

In an interview with ZBC News, Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi emphasised the importance of adhering to safety protocols.

He advised drivers to avoid carrying unauthorised passengers and urged cross-border bus operators to ensure that all passengers’ names are recorded and verified. He stated:

As police, we continually remind drivers to adhere to the mandates set by their employers. They should not carry additional passengers when instructed otherwise. We encourage drivers to play a role in enhancing their safety on the roads.

Transport operators must take the initiative to protect their goods and passengers. No one should board a cross-border bus without their name being documented and verified.

Operators should also ensure their buses do not stop at unauthorized locations. Designated stops are available for rest, and this helps law enforcement track them in case of incidents.”

This warning follows a series of armed robberies reported on highways in recent weeks.

In one incident, a haulage truck driver picked up three men in Msasa, Harare, after posing as genuine travellers heading to Mutare.

When the driver stopped near Rusape at their request, two additional suspects emerged from the bushes, joining their accomplices to attack the driver, who sustained serious injuries.

In another case, a cross-border bus was targeted in Beitbridge last month by suspects who feigned being passengers travelling to the Beitbridge Border Post.

Along the way, they ordered the bus to stop and then assaulted passengers, escaping with significant amounts of U.S. dollars and Rands.

The police have since arrested the suspects involved in both incidents.

Zrp gives warnings, zrp does not work it doesn't perform duties seriously, armed robbers are a handful compared to police force. During sadc one could not easily travel, now zrp is being outnumbered by a few criminals why? corruption. Documentations doesn't stop robbery go back to the drawing board, unemployment, hunger and droughts poor manegment leadership of corruption grab up the causes. Imagine one going out with billions, millions thousands with no conviction, so thieves are being encouraged to exercise future of thought. Your presence should be supported but now you violet peace unity and humanity. On the road see police avoid it to avoid bribe on a meeting quickly disbase yourself tooo.

ZRP don't even patrol the city they live in. How are they now going to patrol highways as well? ZRP have lost control of criminals. Or they participate.

Zrp has no operational resourses. They cant patrol the highway on foot, on cycles or using their private vehicles. Mota dzirikuperera kumaChief. In the ZRP all Chief Supt ( Dispol) and above are issued with personal vehicles while those on the ground struggle for operational resources
