OpenCash-in-transit Crew Lose US$20 000 To Passengers
5 months agoThu, 17 Oct 2024 20:05:22 GMT
A cash-in-transit team lost US$20,000 to two hitchhikers they had picked up while travelling from Beitbridge to Mutare.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said that the incident occurred on October 16, 2024.
The cash-transit team picked up the two passengers at Lutumba Service Centre and Machiloni in Beitbridge.
It was only after they had dropped off the passengers at Rutenga and Ngundu that the crew realised a locked metal cash box containing the money was missing. Said Commissioner Nyathi:
The Zimbabwe Republic Police is investigating two separate cases of theft and robbery which occurred on 16th October 2024 and 15th October 2024 in Bulawayo and Masvingo.
In one of the cases which occurred on 16th October 2024 in Masvingo, US$20 000. 00 cash was stolen from a cash-in-transit vehicle belonging to a private security company. The vehicle was transporting cash from Beitbridge to Mutare.
Along the way, the cash-in-transit crew offered a lift to two unknown passengers at Lutumba Service Centre and Machiloni, Beitbridge. The passengers were later dropped off at Rutenga and Ngundu.
Upon arrival at Ngundu, the crew discovered that a locked metal cash box containing the cash was missing.
In another armed robbery on Tuesday, seven suspects armed with pistols and a pick stormed a steel company in Belmont, Bulawayo. They overpowered the security guards and stole over US$32,000. Said Commissioner Nyathi:
In another case of robbery which occurred on 15th October 2024 in Belmont, Bulawayo, US$32 500. 00 and ZAR 300. 00 cash were stolen after seven unknown male suspects, armed with pistols and a pick, stormed at a steel company.
The suspects tied two security guards and 12 workers, who were on duty, with shoelaces. One of the workers was struck on the head with a pick after attempting to escape. The suspects confiscated valuables and cellphones before stealing the cash.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police is appealing for information which may assist in the investigations of the cases.
Anyone with information should contact the National Complaints Desk on (0242) 70 3631 or WhatsApp on 0712 800 197 or report at any nearest Police Station.

Mystery about CIT guards... are they not supposed to engage the robbers since they'll be armed. It's so embarrassing the way they're are overpowered, kubatwa sehuku. Or else they're mere scare crows meant to intimidate would be robbers. Government and the ISO authorities should intervene, as the trend goes on unabated. The salary and danger allowances to the details of this essential service must be worth dying for. Vehicles, equipment, and firearms must match with what the criminals are armed with. A shotgun or revolver armed guard wouldn't dare challenge an AK-47 assault rifle armed robbers .

Only those who don't have businesses are affected by the needy of 5o level pass mark. If you go through the high profile they have obtained nothing at school, powe now works for olevel credibility wealth and status that's the pass mark they use. Imagine only 17 parliament members have genuine 5 '0' levels certificates. This is the reason why they readout speeches, they don't think at all they don't know how to say or construct ideas of their representation. Dull faces sitting on comfortable positions

Are these ISO ratings given to the Security firms genuine. I think they must be reviewed. It seems the ISO rated security firms are the worst service providers judging by the prevalence of heist and robberies targeted on them. Here we have the Fawcett dispossesed of cash because of selfish negligence. So these ISO accreditations are fake.

A security guard is a security guard do not abuse him by giving him other non-security tasks like washing the CEO car, helping the staff in doing their chores, that's when criminals take advantage. If you see the security guard starting to share jokes with the staff members change him, he's compromised. A security guard should only be tasked by the management not every Jack and Jill of the company.

Supercop · 5 months ago
The cash-in-transit security guards are very unsophisticated, dull novice criminals. There are no outsiders in this case at all. Anyone of very low intellect would think of how secure the money is before taking the risk of picking up hitchhikers. They know that any other person joining them is most likely a thief. Their eyes would never leave the spot where the cash is. Who would want to give themselves that stress, with US$4.5m stolen recently. Vanotaura manje manje.
