Fransisca Zhanda, Sylvia Gondo and Emilia Muriva have also
been linked to five other cases from last year. They will remain in custody
until a bail hearing tomorrow.
The court heard that on January 20, the complainant,
Ropafadzo Mauruka, saw something that appeared like a bundle of money at the
corner Nelson Mandela and Mbuya Nehanda Street.
The trio then asked her to share the money equally.
Muriva then went into a nearby shop claiming that she was
going to count the money, and returned saying it amounted to US$720.
She then asked Ropafadzo to hand over her money and
belongings so that she could go and divide the money in the shop.
Ropafadzo handed over US$267 and her cellphone and was
given the bundle in a sock.
She went into the shop and found that she had been handed
papers when she took out the bundle from the sock.
She went outside to look for the trio, but they had
vanished.
She was assisted by Tafadwa Chidawo, who witnessed and
filmed the whole incident, to recover her cash and cellphone.
In another case that happened on December 9 last year, the
trio approached Lynette Nyamaropa of Zengeza using the same modus operandi.
Nyamaropa lost her cellphone and US$80.
Ellen Rukweza of New Mabvuku also fell victim to the trio
and lost her wallet containing US$200. H Metro
