The unsuspecting woman boarded a White Honda Fit at Cathedral bus stop around 9pm on her way to Shurugwi.
The vehicle had four male occupants including the driver, two of them were at the boot.
Upon reaching the Claybank traffic circle, the two occupants at the boot jumped to the back seat where the complainant was seated and bashed her with an iron bar on the forehead.
They took all her valuables, including the clothes she was wearing before pushing her off the vehicle and speeding towards Shurugwi.
Midlands Provincial Community Relations Liaison Officer, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the case, saying the suspects are still at large and yet to be identified.
“Zimbabwe Republic Police is investigating a Robbery case in which a 24 year old woman from Shurugwi was robbed of cash and property worth US$200.
“…It is alleged that the complainant boarded a white Honda fit at Cathedral bus stop in

“…Upon reaching Clay Bank roundabout, Gweru, two male adult
