A 47-YEAR-OLD Bulawayo man and three accomplices allegedly stormed a Meteorological Services Department (MSD) office and stole a generator before fleeing in a getaway car.
Sunday Makore (47) of Sizinda suburb and three accomplices who are still at large allegedly struck at Goetz MSD in Khumalo suburb travelling in an unregistered Toyota Runx on March 16 this year.
Makore dropped from the motor vehicle and walked straight to the generator room.
The vehicle followed him at a distance. Two of the suspects and Makore allegedly took a Kipor Diesel Operator, worth more than $100 000, loaded it into the car and the gang drove away at high speed.
Makore last Friday pleaded not guilty to one count of theft when he appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Ms Rachel Mukanga.
Ms Mukanga granted him $10 000 bail and he will be back in court on May 5.
