Kwekwe-Two armed robbers stormed a Kwekwe lodge and got away with US$ 115 cash, two cell phones and a Wi-Fi router.
The incident occurred at Wakefield Lodges in Chicago Kwekwe on November 24, 2022 at 1900 hours.
It is reported that on the day mentioned above, the complainant Josephine Shekede an employee was on duty at her work place as a waitress when the two accused persons approached her pretending to be clients who needed overnight accommodation.
As the complainant was attending to the suspects, one of them pulled out an unidentified object from his waist threatening the complainant.
He then demanded money and all her valuables.
Shekede went to her room and took cash amounting to US$ 115, a G-tel Infinity cell phone, an Itel cell phone and handed them to the accused persons.
The accused persons further took a Wi-Fi router and remote control from the unmanned guard room before fleeing the scene.
Acting Midlands Provincial Police Spokesperson Assistant Inspector Fungai Ngawagare confirmed the incident and has since appealed to the public on the whereabouts of the suspects.

“Police are appealing to members of the public who may be in possession of any information which may assist with the arrest of the suspects to approach any nearest police station,” said Ngawagare.
