In Harare, police have arrested three suspected car thieves - Deniver Tinotenda Kazembe (26), Nicholas Kudzaishe Chinyangara (48), and Edwin Mupako (37) - and recovered six stolen vehicles.

The arrests, which occurred on August 8, 2024, followed a tip-off about Kazembe selling a stolen Honda Fit, which led to further discoveries and the apprehension of the other suspects.
