A 20-year-old man, Benjamin Manyangadze, has been rearrested shortly after his release under a Presidential Amnesty, following allegations of a new theft case.
Manyangadze had been released from Marondera Prison on March 2, where he was serving a sentence for multiple counts of unlawful entry and theft. However, just days later, he allegedly broke into a house in Redcliff on March 11.
During the incident, he is accused of stealing US$1,800 in cash, car keys, and a Peugeot vehicle parked at the residence before fleeing the scene.
Police tracked the suspect on March 16 after detectives spotted the stolen vehicle along the Chinhoyi–Chegutu road. Officers in Murombedzi were alerted and successfully apprehended him at the Murombedzi Business Centre.
Authorities recovered the stolen Peugeot along with a Tecno cellphone. The total value of the stolen property is estimated at US$9,920, with approximately US$7,500 worth of items recovered.
Investigations into the case are ongoing.
