According to Ntcheu Police Public Relations Officer, Inspector Hastings Chigalu, the robbery happened on Wednesday at around 12 mid night.
“Police were called to the scene after a report of suspicious activity but the time we arrived the suspects believed to have broken into the office had already fled the scene,” said Chigalu.
Meanwhile, Ntcheu Principal Registration Officer, Peter Kacheche, said operations at the office have been halted.
