AN insurance sales and marketing officer is believed to have fled to South Africa after he allegedly generated duplicate Point of Sale (POS) receipts worth over US$16,000.
Kupakwashe Ralph Dumba is wanted by police after he disappeared following the crime related to vehicle insurance and licences.
The crime was committed between July 1 and December 31 last year.
Dumba’s lifestyle changed dramatically, raising suspicion.
Police confirmed the case in a statement.
The 23-year-old allegedly swindled ZiG452,245.64, equivalent to approximately US$16,151.63.
“Dumba, formerly employed as an insurance sales and marketing officer, is accused of generating duplicate Point of Sale (POS) receipts from original transactions related to motor vehicle insurance and licenses between July 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024.
“The ZRP is appealing for information which may lead to his arrest of Dumba.
“The suspect, who was employed as an insurance sales and marketing officer, allegedly generated duplicate POS receipts from original receipts for motor vehicle insurance and licences during the period.
“He then kept proceeds from the duplicated transactions.
“An audit unearthed the fraudulent activities.
“The suspect’s last known address is 3007 Tsvana Crescent, Ruwa Harare.”
An internal audit revealed that Dumba allegedly kept the proceeds from these duplicated transactions.
His fraudulent activities were uncovered during a special investigation, which confirmed the extent of his deception.
Sources say there was a dramatic change in his lifestyle, including hiring vehicles for US$50 per day over several months.
They say he wanted to maintain a certain lifestyle to his friends and girlfriend.
