Car thieves are on the prowl across the breadth of the country.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police have reported that several vehicles were stolen across the country in the past few weeks.
On the first of this month Police in Hwange recorded a case of theft of a white Toyota Hilux Revo vehicle registration number AFF 8145 at Sino Hydro, Hwange. The vehicle was stolen by someone who allegedly impersonated a company employee.
The culprit has not yet been identified.
In a related matter on a Saturday this month at about 23:00 hours, a male motorist aged 35 lost his Toyota Runx Vehicle ACN 6920 to an unknown suspect after he parked the vehicle along the road to relieve himself while the engine was running near Pamuzinda, Harare.
Male motorists have got a tendency of parking in the middle of nowhere to relieve themselves. This puts many at risk of being carjacked or robbed.
Similarly, police stated that on Saturday at about 23:00 hrs, a Harare man (37) lost a white Nissan Tiida vehicle AFB 1746 after parking along the road for recess along Tynwald Drive.
An unidentified passenger whom the owner of the vehicle had picked along Harare-Bulawayo Road jumped onto the driver’s side and drove away.
Last Sunday at about 15:40 hours, a Harare man (39) lost a silver Corolla Crystallite vehicle AEP 9435 after leaving it parked at a barbershop in Mbare with the keys on the ignition.
Police said they later recovered the vehicle at George Stark High School with some missing car accessories which include a car radio, speakers, battery and a Samsung cellphone.
