A Greystone Park woman in Harare on Monday lost US$ 10,000 cash to thieves upon her arrival at the gate of her house.

Catherine Vongai Musimbe (52), had parked her Toyota Hilux by the gate and entered her house when an unidentified person smashed the vehicle window and stole the handbag.

The thief deflated one of the vehicle’s tyres and went away unnoticed. Vongai was alerted by the alarm and by the time she arrived at the gate, the thief had left.

Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the case urging people to avoid keeping large amounts of money.

“Police are investigating a theft from car case in Greystone Park involving a large amount of money,” said Insp Chakanza.(H Metro)
