Robbers Raid ZANU PF Legal Secretary Patrick Chinamasa’s Farm, Steal Vehicle and Gun

Headlands, Zimbabwe — In a daring heist, armed robbers raided the farm of ZANU PF Secretary for Legal Affairs, Patrick Chinamasa, making off with a brand-new Mazda BT-50 double cab vehicle, a pistol, and other valuables.

The robbery occurred under the cover of darkness when four men overpowered the security guard stationed at the main entrance of the farm before targeting the farm manager. The suspects tied up both men, force-marched them into the main farmhouse, and covered them with blankets while they ransacked the property.

Details of the Heist

According to Mrs. Chinamasa, the robbers were thorough in their search for money, overturning beds, sofas, and combing through every room in the house.

“They took the car keys of my brand-new Mazda BT-50, blue in color, which we were yet to register. It had only travelled for 12,000 km. They also took a pistol from the gun cabinet, a box of cocking oil, and a set of kitchen knives. It was more of the money which they wanted,” Mrs. Chinamasa told Manila Post.

The robbers are believed to have arrived at the farm in a white Toyota Wish vehicle, which may have been used as their getaway car.

Police Investigation Underway

The incident was reported to local authorities the same night, and officers from Headlands responded promptly to record statements. The case has now been transferred to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) in Rusape for further investigation.

Police are actively pursuing leads and have launched a manhunt for the robbers. Meanwhile, security has been tightened at the farm as investigations continue.

Community on High Alert

The brazen nature of the robbery has left the local community on edge, with residents expressing concerns over rising crime in the area. Authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station.

This high-profile robbery has also sparked political and security concerns, as Patrick Chinamasa is a prominent figure within the ruling ZANU PF party.
