Kapiri Mposhi Township.

Armed bandits cut the roof to Bayport Financial services in Kapiri Mposhi, blew the safe with explosives but failed to haul the K110 million stored there.

The impact of the explosives burnt and destroyed about K10 million stored in the safe.

The robbers had earlier disarmed the security alarm at the premises along the Great North road.
