Robbers blow up ATM in Murewa, steal US$30,000

Armed robbers used explosives to blow open a CBZ Bank ATM in Murewa on Tuesday, escaping with US$30,000 and 15,000 ZiG. The attack followed a pattern of ATM bombings and armed heists that have escalated across Zimbabwe in recent weeks. Police have not reported any arrests, and the robbers remain at large. The heist occurred in broad daylight, raising public safety concerns in the town about 90 kilometers east of Harare. The Murewa bombing is the latest in a series of what authorities describe as a surging wave of ATM attacks and armed robberies gripping the country.
