In a statement posted on X, the Zimbabwe Republic Police said Obey Tafadzwa Sithole (24) was arrested in connection with a series of robberies committed on 23 March between 6pm and 11pm.

“The suspect, together with two accomplices who are still at large, allegedly used machetes, knives and pepper spray to attack nine complainants in separate incidents across the town," police said.

Police said several stolen items, including seven mobile phones, had been recovered after being sold to individuals in Chegutu.
