Man (29) in hot soup after being caught wearing police uniform
A 29-year-old bogus policeman has been arrested in Zvishavane after he was found wearing a police uniform.
He is assisting police with investigations and will appear in court soon.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the arrest.
“On December 6, 2022, Police in Zvishavane arrested Farai Moyo aged 29 for impersonation after he was found wearing a police uniform at Mandava Business Centre. Investigations are in progress,” he said.
Moyo is alleged to have been extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public.
Recently, two bogus policemen were allegedly driving around Harare in their getaway car and stealing thousands of US dollars after accusing motorists of having violated traffic rules, were arrested, while police continued hunting for three accomplices, including a woman.
The arrested two were former police officers, Kabinara Frazer Chengetai (38) of Unit O Seke in Chitungwiza, who was discharged from the police service on November 19, 2009, for being unsuitable for duty, and Shelton Chingwecha (33) of New Zengeza 5 in Chitungwiza.— Herald
