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.

Central Province Commissioner of Police, Solomon Jere says the thieves managed to blow the safe partially but failed to completely dismantle the safe-box.

He says no arrests have been made so far but police have launched a man hunt.

And three dangerous criminals have escaped from police custody at Kapiri Mposhi police station, cutting a metal bar to their cell.

The three include two who are jointly charged for five counts of aggravated robbery and another facing a charge of threatening violence.
