He now faces charges of unlawful entry.
The court in Karoi heard that Tobias Pedzisayi was caught on CCTV breaking into the complainant’s office at around 0100 hours on March 3.
In the CCTV footage, Pedzisayi was seen breaking a safe, using an unidentified object, and he got away with US$24 000.
He also stole the CCTV camera, which captured his activities.
However, data stored elsewhere helped the complainant see that Pedzisayi was the one who had broken into his office.
He was arrested on April 9.
He will be back in court on April 16.
Meanwhile, a 33-year-old man from Beatrice was sentenced to 20 years in pison for raping his 49-year-old mentally challenged mother-in-law.
