The couple allegedly posed as agents of an undisclosed
company, claiming to facilitate job placements in Canada, the United Kingdom,
and Ireland.
Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube
identified the suspects as Gwendoline Ndlovu (28) and Melusi Ndlovu (36).
The pair initially appeared in court and were granted bail
but subsequently fled.
“Police in Bulawayo are appealing for information on the
whereabouts of Gwendoline Ndlovu and Melusi Ndlovu, who are wanted in
connection with multiple fraud cases committed in 2023,” said Inspector Ncube.
“The couple is linked to 18 fraud cases between January and July 2023, with a
total of US$134,552 swindled from victims under the guise of facilitating
employment abroad.”
Inspector Ncube revealed that Gwendoline was arrested on
May 3, 2023, following a report by one of the victims, Alison Unami. Melusi was
apprehended the next day at Bulawayo Central Police Station when he visited his
wife in custody.
The duo was subsequently granted bail under conditions that
required them to report to the police three times a week.
However, they later provided the court with a false
address, claiming to reside at 568 Ntepe, Gwanda, instead of their actual
residence at 300 Ntshonalanga Road, Sunninghill, Bulawayo. They absconded,
violating their bail conditions, and a warrant for their arrest has since been
issued.
Police are urging anyone with information about the
couple’s whereabouts to come forward. CITE
