Owen Muteeri (28) was remanded in custody pending his bail
ruling today by Harare regional magistrate Mr Donald Ndirowei.
Prosecuting, Mr Anesu Chirenje alleged that Muteeri
conspired with his accomplices, who are still at large, to rob Online
Logistics.
Muteeri’s accomplices were armed with unidentified pistols
and manhandled two security guards, before tying them with shoelaces and a rope
from one of the security guard’s hat.
They then went on to remove burglar bars from the reception
office and entered the block where they broke into the offices of the
accountant and directors’ and ransacked them.
The gang broke into another workshop where they stole a
CCTV DVR and a Samsung M33 cellphone belonging to one of the security guards.
They then proceeded to the next yard where Muteeri is a
security guard and they stole US$238 000 after using grinders to force open the
safe where the cash was being kept.
When the gang executed the robbery, they told the guards
that their intention was to rob Online Logistics, and Muteeri was given US$5
000 as his share. On arrest he helped police recover US$2 700. Muteeri has
already been granted bail on his first charge of unlawful entry. Herald
