The robbers are said to have jumped into a silver Honda fit with no plates and left freely without interference from the bank's internal security's guards.
The robbery which shocked customers as it happened just after midday left customers speechless as one of the customers said
“It happened so fast. One minute we were all in a queue to be served and the next we were lying down at the threat of being shot”
Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said investigations are still underway as to who did such as act.
The robbery comes just over a month after a cash-in-transit van dropping off money at a Mukuru branch on Lobengula Street and 13th Avenue was targeted. Four men wearing balaclavas got away with US$100,000 and R500,000 in the raid on August 1.
