FOUR suspected cable thieves were arrested along the Harare-Nyamapanda Road on allegations of vandalising a ZETDC transformer and stealing armoured cables.
Anderson Takawira alias Tatenda Vambe (30), Isaac Vheremu (38), Trymore Bona (30) and Archford Chiyangwa (25) were arrested after the police received information and intercepted them at a roadblock.
National police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said, “The suspects were arrested at a roadblock along the Harare-Nyamapanda Road on January 27 in connection with the vandalism of a ZETDC transformer and theft of armoured cables.
“The arrest led to the recovery of bolts, nuts, two scales, spanners, a knife and armoured cables. The suspects’ getaway car was a Toyota Aqua (registration number AGF 9536).”
He said the suspects are being linked to another case of vandalism at Mushimbo Business Centre where transformer oil was stolen on the same day. Copper cables were also stolen at Rukau Business Centre in Mutoko when a transformer was vandalised.
