BINGA – An bomb explosion was heard at Binga’s Zimpost and TELONE building on Monday morning.
What residents thought was an accident was a violent raid by robbers at around 3am.
An unknown number of men broke the Binga ZIMPOST and TELONE security fence, further broke the burglary bars of the ZIMPOST window and gained access.
Inside they used dynamite to break off the cash safe.
They got away with US$16,400 and left the security guard tied to a tree unhurt.
The premises are at present closed while heavily armed police officers guard it and no arrests have been made. A comment from the police was not possible at the time of writing.
