Three armed robbers have been apprehended in Bulawayo following a dramatic shootout with police along Luveve Road on Monday morning.

Police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the arrest, stating that investigations are ongoing.

“We can confirm that the ZRP arrested three men following a shoot-out with the police in Bulawayo this morning. Investigations are underway, and we will provide more details soon,” Nyathi said.

Sources close to the investigation revealed that the suspects were allegedly involved in the theft of a Ford Ranger vehicle at an entertainment venue known as KoChigumira in Bulawayo last Wednesday. The trio reportedly used the stolen vehicle in a series of robberies in Gwanda, where they exchanged gunfire with detectives from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

Despite the exchange of fire, the suspects managed to flee the scene. However, police later recovered the stolen vehicle and a firearm.
