Maamba police have arrested an armed Zimbabwean national and a Zambian who raided villagers and store assorted items in Siampondo area which boarders with Zimbabwe in Sinazongwe district.
A check at Maamba police by ZANIS found that the two alleged criminals were in custody.
Stead Simujalu from Simalubilo village said the five men armed with two military guns fired two gunshots in the air before they stormed his shop and store assorted items in his shop.
Mr. Sumujalu said they store all the goods in his shop and a K500, 000 cash.
He said the alleged thieves crossed into Zimababwe with his items.
Mr. Simujalu said the village neighbourhood also organized themselves and apprehended two thieves who had delayed from crossing the Zambeze River.
Police Sources said one military gun that the Zimbabwean had was not functioning though the one with the three thieves who escaped was working.
The officer said there were a lot of guns in Siampondo that were left by the Zimbabwean freedom fighters in Siampondo and the area still has fears of land mines.

The story lacks credibility. Firearms from the freedom fighting era, dont buy that.
My home is becoming like south africa now… when a foreigner rapes someone, its headline news but when a foreigner gets raped, no one even bothers to report the crime let alone mentioning that the victim was an alien.
Why take them to police? They should have just skinned them alive. That is the only language criminals understand.
Thugs are thugs. They know that crime does not pay but they will do what they have to do. Chise, Zulu 83 and the wanna be X-KILLER, what you gonna do when they come for you?

“The officer said there were a lot of guns in Siampondo that were left by the Zimbabwean freedom fighters in Siampondo and the area still has fears of land mines.”
What do we do about this situation? land mines are a serious threat to people’s health and life. Guns too, whether in a working or non-working form because we can never predict what can happen at any touch of them!
“Mr. Sumujalu said they store all the goods in his shop and a K500, 000 cash.”
I hope Mr. Sumujalu had insurance in place.
