According to a ZRP press statement released today, four unknown individuals, armed with an “unknown pistol,” pounced on the business.

The ZRP is investigating a case of robbery which occurred at a mall at corner Cameroon and Albion Street in Harare CBD on Monday, 16/06/25 at around 10 AM.
Four unknown suspects who were armed with an unknown pistol pounced at the business premise and stole US$500 000 cash. More details will be released in due course.
Meanwhile, a report claims the target was Steve’s Mall, where a prominent Indian businessman was robbed of half a million dollars in cash and luxury electronics.
Witnesses at the scene described the suspects’ movements as having “military precision,” causing vendors and shoppers to scramble for cover.
The gang reportedly struck with extreme speed and vanished just as quickly, leaving behind a wake of panic.
The usually bustling street was brought to a standstill as emergency sirens wailed and stunned onlookers watched the aftermath unfold.
The robbers allegedly caught the businessman completely off guard, pouncing before he could react and making off with the loot without firing a single shot.
