According to police details, circumstances suggest that,
the complainant Freddy Chibanda (61) who works as a security officer at the
farm was on guard duty and was approached by five unknown male adults.
One of the suspects all on police radar, pointed an unknown
pistol at him and ordered him to surrender his cell phone before he was blind
folded with a white scarf.
The complainant was tied with a rope and one of the suspects
was left guarding him while others proceeded to the center pivot where they
dismantled 5×4 horse power electric motors, 102 sprinklers, 1 control panel
box, 5 control boxes and 283 meters armored cable.
They took the property and fled the scene using an unknown
vehicle. The complainant later managed to remove the cloth from his face and
shouted for help. Stephen Musona (29) who is also a security guard at the farm
rushed and untied him.
The complainant sustained no injuries. A police report was
made at Beatrice police station who attended the scene and investigations are
ongoing.
