A daring Bindura thief who went on a stealing spree targeting female police officers was jailed for two years by Bindura magistrate Ethel Chichera on Friday.
Munyaradzi Gera (18) pleaded guilty to three counts of theft and was sentenced to an effective two-year jail term. Prosecutors told the court that on January 7 around 3am, Gera broke into Naume Mugaba's house at the police camp in Bindura and stole books and clothes valued at $1 500.
On January 11, he used the same modus operandi and stole a flash drive from Angeline Mazorodze's house.
He was, however, spotted wearing the stolen clothes while doing piece jobs in the police camp leading to his arrest.
