In a shocking turn of events, Tafara 2 High School fell victim to a brazen and audacious robbery orchestrated by a group of 11 armed assailants.
The motivation behind the heist unraveled as it was unraveled that the robbers set their sights on the substantial donation of US$12,000 made by local legislator Pedzisayi Scott Sakupwanya during a recent birthday celebration — a sum that had been pledged to the school.
The details of the incident expose a meticulously planned attack, with the robbers displaying a chilling disregard for security measures as they entered the premises by scaling over the perimeter wall. Armed to the teeth with an arsenal of weapons including bolt cutters, iron bars, chisels, machetes, and knives, they swiftly overpowered the unsuspecting security guards, setting off a chain of violent events.
With a swift and calculated move, the assailants marched the subdued guards towards the administration block, where they were forced to the ground while the robbers attempted to breach the Chubb safe in search of the anticipated funds. Despite their failure to crack the safe, the criminals proceeded to loot laptops from the building, signaling their intent to exploit any opportunity for gain.
Undeterred, a faction of the gang turned their attention to the staff quarters, where they encountered and confiscated US$4,500 from one teacher and an additional US$1,500 from another resident.
