Kwekwe- A 38-year-old man was robbed of his motor vehicle by people who purportedly hired him from Kwekwe to Chicago area.
The incident occurred on March 1, 2022 at around 2300 hours.
Midlands Provincial Police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the incident and appealed to members of the public with information regarding the whereabouts of the suspects.
“May anyone with information that can lead to the arrest of the two suspects, approach any nearest police station. Once again we urge motorists to desist from carrying strangers as this put them at risks of losing their vehicles and property,” he said.
The complainant Ayton Chinosengwa of Torwood was hired by an unknown man from Kwekwe Central Business District (CBD) to Chicago.
Upon reaching Chicago the man indicated that he had reached his destination and the driver stopped the vehicle before suddenly another man emerged from the bush and threatened him with a Machete. The one who was in the car jumped to the driver’s seat pushing Chinosengwa to the back seat.
