He said the matter was reported at ZRP Chegutu.
Meanwhile, a Chegutu pirate taxi driver lost his black Honda Fit to two men.
Insp Kohwera said Weslie Batgjies (23) picked two passengers at the 10km peg along the Chegutu-Gadzema Road.

“Along the way, and at ZMDC, one of the passengers, who was seated at the front, ordered the driver to stop the vehicle.
“He grabbed his hands and shoved him off from the steering wheel.
“The other one, who was seated at the back, produced a knife and threatened to stab him.”
He added:
“They searched him and took US$50 and a cellphone.
“The two then drove towards Harare-Bulawayo road.”
Batgjies was dumped in a bushy area.
