The suspect, Brian Bhuru, of Budiririro, Harare, whose village of origin is Chinegoto Sai in Gokwe North, is wanted in connection with the theft of a silver Nissan Sedan.
Acting Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Thandekile Ndlovu yesterday appealed to members of the public with information that could assist in locating and arresting Bhuru to come forward.
