robbery suspects

It was alleged that the robbery occurred between 11pm and 12 midnight along the Magi Highway.

According to the police report, the suspects, armed with firearms, robbed passengers of a vehicle that was travelling to the village.

Police investigated the incident and identified the suspects. Four were arrested and charged for the offence. Others are still on the run.

Central Provincial Police Commander Acting Superintendent Laimo Asi confirmed this, adding that the suspects are from his village.

According to the Hohola police station NCO, Beven Kamong, the robbery took place on one of the businesses houses at the Kunai street.

The four men held up the employees taking belongings and a number of laptops.

Police say they were initially alerted through a post on the NCD alert page that stated that the staff were held up at gun point.

Four company laptops and cash amounting to about K6000 were stolen along with staff mobile phones and other personal belongings.

K1.2M belonging was confirmed to have been taken by five armed suspects.

Police believe that the robbery was an inside job as they walked in undetected knowing exactly where the money was in the loading terminal.

Airport Commander Robert Wane says the money was left at the airport on the previous day (Wednesday) and was in the process of being loaded into the chartered plane yesterday morning when the armed men held up the staff.
