TWO sex workers, who had been accused of stealing from Raurie Dustin Michael Hein, are now off the hook after he withdrew the charges before plea.
Ruth Mapfumo and Yeukai Chimbanda were being accused of stealing from Hein on December 21. According to court papers, Hein was flagged down by Mapfumo and Chimbanda at around 11pm in the Avenues area.
It was alleged that they jumped into his car and they directed him to a lodge in Eastlea.
It was further alleged that when they got to the lodge, Mapfumo and Chimbanda became hostile towards Hein and demanded money.
Out of fear, and to prevent further escalation, Hein transferred $50 000 to Mapfumo’s EcoCash number. The two then demanded to be dropped where he had picked them up.
On their way back, Mapfumo, who was in the back seat, allegedly stole Hein’s black satchel containing a laptop, cellphone, tablet and work documents.
Hein discovered that his valuables were missing the next day and filed a police report.
Police tracked down Mapfumo and recovered Hein’s missing property in her wardrobe.
She implicated Chimbanda, who was using Hein’s stolen cellphone, and was arrested.
