A HARARE man, Brine Mugota, handed himself to police after a failing to rob a local bank at gun-point.
Mugota allegedly stormed a Cabs banking hall in Mount Pleasant, Harare, last month armed with a pistol and ordered the security guard to surrender his firearm before hitting him several times on the head, with the gun’s butt fracturing his skull in the process.
He then allegedly proceeded to order all the banking staff to surrender and threatened to kill the manager, while demanding keys to the bank’s safe.
However, Mugota’s actions yielded nothing, as one of the employees quickly locked off the main entrance, prompting him to abandon his demand and he threatened to shoot the four tellers if he was not granted safe passage.
Mugota managed to flee the scene, but later surrendered himself to law enforcers. Mugota appeared in Court last week charged with attempted robbery, attempted murder and possession of an unlicensed firearm and was remanded in custody for trial after his defense was dismissed by the Court.
