CCTV cameras at the High Court building in Blantyre have captured a yet-to-be-identified man stealing a laptop from one of the offices.

The man who disguised himself as a client seeking help at the court was seen waiting at the reception trying to figure out how to get into one of the Human Resources Offices and stole the laptop.

The camera footage which our reporter has seen exposes how the man, desperately craved to get hold of the laptop and seized the moment to steal the gadget when all officers in the office and the adjacent building briefly went out of their offices.

There was no immediate comment from court officials.
