Police in Lilongwe have arrested a 29 year-old man for suspecting that he steal properties in some offices at City Center in Lilongwe since last December.

Spokesperson for Lingadzi Police, Sergeant Cassim Manda has identified the suspect as Emmanuel Maximiano who hails from Chimutu in the district.

Following his arrest, police have recovered some stolen property, which include six laptops, one 55-inch plasma screen, a printer, and other valuable items.

According to Manda, Emmanuel is suspected of being behind a series of breakings at Airtel Malawi, the Competition and Fair Trading Commission, the African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP), and Plan International Malawi, where property worth millions of Kwacha was stolen.

He has since voluntarily admitted to committing the crimes, and he has also demonstrated how he had committed the offences and he will soon appear before court of law to answer theft charges.

Last week, Lingadzi Police Station also successfully recovered multimillion-Kwacha property that was stolen from Radio Maria offices.

Meanwhile, these successes have seen some residents in the city applauding officers at Lingadzi Police Station which is under the stewardship of Assistant Commissioner of Police Mr. Billy Chimbonga.
