Previous Arrest: Detective Kedha’s Car Theft Case
This is not the first time Detective Kedha has been arrested. Early this year, in January, Detective Kedha was arrested for car theft. Detective Kedha was accused of stealing a vehicle valued at US$12,000 from South Africa and illicitly bringing it into Zimbabwe.
According to court records, Detective Kedha allegedly acquired a Toyota Hilux double cab from South Africa in December 2022, maneuvering its entry into the country through deceptive means. Subsequently, he stands accused of orchestrating the fraudulent registration of the vehicle with the Zimbabwean plate number AGE 6745. Reportedly, he sold the vehicle to an individual named Melody Kufakwemba for $12,000.
On January 2, detectives intercepted the vehicle while it was being driven by Kufakwemba’s son-in-law. Upon verifying the registration, it became evident that the vehicle had been falsely registered. As a result, the authorities impounded the vehicle and confirmed its status as stolen from South Africa after consulting INTERPOL’s international stolen vehicle database.
