Thomas Chidza was nabbed at around 2am after having
allegedly assisted a South African bus crew member to enter the country by
endorsing his passport with a fake immigration stamp.
He was found with three immigration stamps, three rubber
stencils, and several ink pads among other tools of the trade.
The Assistant Regional Immigration Officer (ARIO) in charge
of Beitbridge Mr Nqobile Ncube said Chidza was now in police custody pending a
court appearance. “Let this be a strong warning to other members of the
syndicate that we will account for all of them.
“At the same time, we discourage travellers from making use
of the services of such criminals as their risk losing their money and
prosecution,” he said.
Mr Ncube said they arrested Chidza after he was implicated
by one of his agents, they found with the South African late on Thursday
evening. “We picked him in the morning during a sting operation,” he said. Herald
