A DARING female thief allegedly hired and sold four cars she had rented from four individuals.
Alice Paramu (33) will spend the Easter holidays in remand prison.
She appeared before Harare magistrate, Donal Ndirowei, yesterday and will be back in court on Tuesday for bail considerations.
The first complainant is Memory Chiheya who rented out her car to Paramu on March 8.
Paramu used a fake name, Anita Mavesere.
She hired the vehicle for three days and paid US$310, including a security fee of US$100.
On March 10, she allegedly manufactured a fake registration book for the car and sold it to Bradwell Chiranda who exchanged his vehicle, and topped US$2300, for the car.
Two days later, Chiheya filed a police report, which led to the recovery of the car, through its tracker.
The car was recovered from Kudakwashe Mutsau, who bought the vehicle from Chirinda.
Using the same method, Paramu hired a Honda Fit for three days from Munashe Chitapa of Topnash Investments.
Paramu then sold the car to Tichaona Chiwocha for US$5200.
The car was tracked and recovered.
Paramu then hired a Nissan Xtrail from Simbarashe Hunda, changed its registration documents then sold it to Tinotenda Chiwocha.
Paramu then hired a car from Rutendo Murate, posing as Clara Gondo, and changed its ownership to her name before selling it to Aaron Janhi.
It was recovered by the police.
Anesu Chirenje appeared for the State.
