Acting Police Spokesperson Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka said three men
escaped arrest and are on the run.
The three women
have been identified as Sekai Chindezwa (41), Mollen Myambo (42) and Viola
Makuyana (18) all of Madhuku Village.
The trio and
three men who evaded arrest allegedly boarded a moving truck that was carrying
the drought relief to another distribution centre and offloaded 53 bags of
wheat. The women failed to jump out of the speeding truck as the driver headed
to Chisumbanje Police Station.
Circumstances
are that Valeriah Mandeya (44), a Social Development employee in Chipinge
escorted a truck carrying 600x50kgs bags of wheat for distribution at Madhuku
Village. One person was supposed to get 10kg of wheat.
The
distribution ended around 5pm with 540 bags having been distributed. The truck
left the distribution centre and headed to another centre at Mabhiza Business
Centre.
The three woman
and men then jumped into the truck and started demanding their share of the
wheat. They allegedly told the Social Development officer that they hadn’t
received their allocation.
They offloaded
53x50kgs bags of wheat from the truck as the driver sped off to Chisumbanje
Police Station. The men jumped out of the truck whilst the woman failed to jump
off and were arrested when they got to the Police station. The three men are
still at large.
The stolen
grain is valued at US$1 170 and nothing has been recovered. Masvingo Mirror
