Thieves blow up cash safes

Share

Suspected criminals broke into the Ndola Main Post Office on Tuesday night and blew up two safes.

The post office was closed to the public yesterday morning until 11:00 hours to facilitate investigations into the suspected burglary.

A check by the Times found scores of people waiting to go inside the post office to transact while a number of police officers were seen around keeping vigil.

The only customers that had been attended to were those that were travelling using the Post Bus as their tickets were sold from outside.

Some members of staff assured the customers that the post office would open soon.
Copperbelt police chief Martin Malama said it was discovered yesterday in the early hours of the morning that the post office had been broken into.

Dr Malama said investigations revealed that the criminals broke into the premises from the rear and climbed up a sewer pipe.

    That is Greenwell Nguni the Lusaka top cop showing journalists banditry atire at a police press briefing.

  2. But money kutwala ku bank, that is why banks have a night safe facility. I think it is an inside job.

  3. mwabobeni mukwayi,lets hope the money u stole is enough to educate your children coz if it is not enough YAAAAAA lwanya pantu amasukulu yaladula ifi balayashitisha.If you stole the money so that you buy a corolla wanya balakwikata nombaline :((

  4. why do we keep seeing the same criminal in his ski mask.

    does that guy know that his DNA is all over that mask and any thought of using it as evidence that it is someone else has gone to waste.

    VJ rigger look at it this way.
    This photo was taken after UNKNOWN criminals escaped a city robbery.

    Who is the insane police reject who spoiled crime scene evidence?

  5. #15 No evidence – all accusations
    There are no such things as DNA testing for evidence purposes in zambia police.Criminals are shot on sight and evidence is ‘squizzed’ out of suspects.This serves time and money.

  6. Windfall tax = Creation of more jobs= more cash in pockets + improved social status of citizen( less poverty, diseases etc) = less crime in the country

  7. 16# VJ Rigger. What do you mean ‘this serves time and money” . The methods you have mentioned has a lot of INNOCENT people in Jail. You ARE even proud to say that there are no such things as DNA testing for evidence, this shows how our country IS VERY backwards. Again alot of criminals are free because not having DNA testing.

  8. #9 +#21, thanks a lot for the clarification. You know, these LT have put no caption under that picture, so it is easy to connect the man with the thieves in the story. Again poor job on part of LT.

    Yes I am benefitting from MMD through;
    1.Enabling peaceful environment for me to do business freely.
    2.Use of the many hospitals they have built.
    3.Use of the hundreds of schools they have built.
    4.Use of the many tarred roads they have constructed.
    5.Use of the Agricultural support programmes they have put in place.

    VJ Rigger- Are in Zambia. If so then your benefits are not from these. Mind you I have a lot of friends among MMD officials and I know how they benefit, not the lies 1 to 5 you are peddling. Which hospitals when people are being told to buy their own medicine at Kitwe Central. You can tell these lies to your friends over seas, not me who is right here.

  11. Better steal something before the Post Office is sold to another Libyan. Twacula sana – these ba2tardz keep selling things to foreigners who then come in and fire us. If this is the way we can have our own back then let it be. Twacula pafula. Amene ani zonda alowa!

  12. No. 24 VJ
    Just say you receive brown envelops also like small chiefs we know. What schools and hospitals has the MMD built in comparison to UNIP.

  13. #27 one zambia one love

    ….and many more (limited by time to list all).So dont just jump on a change bandwagon before doing your homework on the current GRZ.Dont be misled by De javu a possibly fired ‘ex-MMD’ sympathiser.

  14. I heard on MUVI TV evening news that these stu.pid bastards blew up the safes and did not steal anything..maybe the safes were empty..also heard that there were 2 guards who did not hear the blasts…so LT..you need to report fully on what went on..don’t just get news from hearsay..I beat you on this one

  15. #29 – That is interesting! How could the GUARDS not hear BLASTS!!!??? Maybe the security guards were either the blasters themselves, or were the blast itself.

  16. VJ rigger ,building a hospital is one thing,changing the name of the building(clinic) which existed hitherto,is another.You can go to kanyama and change the name of kanyama clinic to kanyama hospital,that does not imply you muppets have built an hospital.After all. people experience the same poor conditions of service.Ati RB has built many hospitals..so funny.You are becoming a nonentity togather with RB,as this is conspicuous in your thinking.
