The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has warned motorists falling prey to criminals posing as genuine transport seekers across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assistant police commissioner, Paul Nyathi indicated in a press statement yesterday, that some of the motorists are losing vehicles to criminals after leaving the vehicle unattended with keys on the ignition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ZRP in their press statement highlighted that, on the 4th of November 2022 at around 1900 hours, a 34 year old man lost a Honda Fit vehicle registration number AFT 2657, a DSTV decoder, 13 cell phones, seven power-banks and personal documents, to two unknown male suspects after he had offered them a lift at corner Chinhoyi Street and Robert Mugabe road, Harare, on the pretext that they were going to Marimba, Harare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along the way, at Rugare traffic lights, the suspects attacked the complainant and stole his valuables and the vehicle. They then made a u-turn and later dumped the complainant in Msasa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On 5th November 2022 at about 2015 hours, a 27-year-old man offered a lift to two unknown male suspects who purported to be going to Chinhoyi at Westgate in Harare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon arrival at the 113 km peg along Harare-Chirundu Road, the suspects asked to be dropped off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They then attacked the complainant and stole US$3 600-00 cash and a Honda Fit vehicle registration number AFY 4575.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On 6th November 2022 at around 0340 hours, a 22-year-old Bulawayo taxi driver was hired by two unknown suspects from Bulawayo Central Business District to Nhliziyo Shopping Centre, Entumbane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On arrival at the shopping centre, the suspects ordered the complainant to park at a certain house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They then attacked the complainant and robbed him of a Honda Fit vehicle registration number AFD 8145, a cellphone and US$100 cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On 6th November 2022 at around 0200 hours, a 45-year-old man had an altercation with five men who were in a BMW car at Cosmopolitan Race Course, Ascot, Bulawayo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He then parked his Honda Fit vehicle registration number AFO 5439 and charged towards the BMW vehicle leaving his car keys on the ignition port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An unknown suspect came and stole the car and drove off while the complainant was confronting the five men in a BMW vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another case, Police are investigating a case of theft of a motor vehicle that occurred on 4th November 2022 at a car park in Warren Park, Harare, where a woman (30) had left a Toyota Wish vehicle registration number AEL 2656 for safekeeping. The complainant came back the next morning and found the car missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, on 5th November 2022, Police in Chinhoyi arrested Jealous Thomas Musariri (43) in connection with two counts of murder that occurred at Riverside, Chinhoyi on 29th September 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspect allegedly stabbed Tinashe Nyanguwo (36) and Joshua Kadungure (37) to death, after a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
