POLICE in Bulawayo have arrested Lovemore Mashamba (35) of Mzilikazi suburb after he allegedly broke into a shop and stole solar equipment worth thousands of dollars.
The provincial police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube said Mashamba was found in possession of flood lights, gas tanks, solar batteries, solar lights, solar panels and inverters.
Mashamba ran out of luck while trying to sell the stolen goods leading to his arrest on Monday. “On Saturday last week, the complainant a male adult aged 53 years locked his shop situated at 6th Avenue and JMN Nkomo Street and left everything intact.
The accused person used an unknown object to break the padlock of the gate which is in the sanitary lane and the back door padlocks to gain entry into the shop,” said Insp Ncube.
“Police would like to appreciate members of the community for supplying significant information that has led to the arrest of the accused person and are appealing to those who know of the whereabouts of Mehluli Dube- the co-accused- to report at the nearest station.” @thamamoe Ends
