A GURUVE man was jailed 10 months yesterday for stealing seven bags of fertilizer.

Ngonidzashe  Mhaka (23) of Zhakata village in Guruve pleaded guilty to the charge before magistrate Geraldine Mutsotso.

Prosecutor Albert Charewa told the court that on January 20 the convict broke into Patience Chipoya's room while she was away during midnight and stole seven bags of uria fertilizer.

Chipoya was advised of the breaking and theft by her brother Gift Chipoya (54) before coming back to Guruve the following day.

Upon her arrival in Guruve she made her own investigations in the village and discovered that Zhakata was selling the looted fertilizers.

Chipoya confronted the thief who admitted to breaking and stealing the fertilizers.

A police report was filed leading to his arrest.
