Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson Inspector Mandlenkosi Moyo confirmed the incident, but could not disclose more details saying the SPAR manager had failed to furnish them with information about what exactly was stolen.
“I can confirm that there was a case of robbery at Richmond SPAR and the robbers reportedly looted some undisclosed goods. The manager failed to furnish the police with information on how many goods were stolen,” Moyo said.
He added that the police were investigating the case.
Richmond SPAR staff confirmed the robbery, but declined to shed more light.
