THREE suspects who have been stealing from tourists booked in lodges along the Lower Zambezi River in Chirundu, have been arrested.
Zambian authorities recently arrested the suspects near the Lower Zambezi National Park where they had been hiding after stealing from lodges on the Zimbabwean side.
The suspects, who are yet to be identified, are reportedly from Kariba and were taking advantage of the low water levels to cross the Zambezi River.
Different brands and sizes of cameras were recovered and taken to Chirundu Police Station where owners were called in to identify them.
Apart from the thefts, the suspects will be charged for contravening Zambian immigration laws.
Mashonaland West police spokesperson Inspector Ian Kohwera said police will issue a statement after gathering all the facts.
