In Zimbabwe-A 55 year old, Vusimuzi Ncube is said to have committed the offence while he was based at the Police General Headquarters (Transport and Logistics).

Nyathi appealed for cooperation from all citizens, asking those with any information on Ncube’s whereabouts to assist the police.

In another matter, a Chinhoyi-based police sergeant was arrested for allegedly stealing $90 000 in December last year.

The money was supposed to be paid to police officers who participated in the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) programme sometime in 2017.

However, Lameck Karombo allegedly transferred the money into his personal account before fleeing.

Karombo, who had been on the run for almost a year, was caught at a hotel in Harare, where he was believed to have been holed up since committing the offence.
