Twin Palm Mall Robbery: Two Nabbed

POLICE in Lusaka have arrested two people in connection with the Twin Palm Shopping Mall heist in which two bandits were shot dead and K337,000 belonging to Shoprite was stolen.
In a high-strung gun battle characteristic of a Hollywood movie, a lone police officer on Monday shot dead two bandits in the robbery at the shopping mall in Lusaka.
Two other bandits, however, got away with K337,000 snatched from a cash-in-transit security vehicle after a heavy exchange of gun fire. The money was being transported from Shoprite supermarket.
The fire fight left the policeman and two shop attendants of Subway, Lwandi Kaluba and Nicholas Katingwe, with gunshot wounds.
Lusaka Province commissioner of police Charity Katanga said in an interview yesterday that bandit who was shot dead has been identified as Willy Palawama, 35, of Chaisa township
