THERE was drama in Mutare’s CBD this morning after three men suspected to be con-artists who were impersonating cops were arrested by police detectives.
Witnesses who watched the drama unfold said police detectives swooped on the trio after having monitored their movements and trekked them.
The three bogus cops were yanked from their vehicle in a car park near Mukuru money transfer’s city branch and put in their own handcuffs before being whisked away.
They are said to have become a menace in the CBD as they were in the habit of targeting illegal forex dealers, vendors outside supermarkets and unsuspecting members of the public.
“All this while I thought these men were genuine cops. They used to come her frequently and would demand money from forex dealers who mill around this place. I have easily recognised one of them because he was once nearly manhandled outside a supermarket near the main bus terminus at Mudzviti.
“The police detectives must be commended for doing a good job because these men where terrorising and duping people in the city,” said an illegal forex dealer who declined to named.
