Police officer uses fake documents to obtain $1 500 in loans
A 27-year-old police officer attached to the ZRP Protection Unit Tomlinson Depot allegedly used fake documents to obtain about $1 500 in loans from a micro-finance company at its different branches across the country.
Shepherd Chiguware of PPU Diplomats’ Relief 3, on Friday appeared before Harare magistrate Ms Bianca Makwande facing fraud charges. He was remanded to November 30 on $100 bail. Chiguware was ordered to reside at his address pending finalisation of the matter.
Prosecuting, Ms Audrey Chogumaira alleged that on May 27 this year, Chiguware was in his police uniform when he approached Yonder Rift Enterprises’ Harare branch. The court heard that the company is a micro-finance institution and Chiguware applied for a $250 loan.
It is alleged he got the loan at a 17 percent interest rate and Chiguware gave the loan officer the required documents. The documents included a payslip, bank statement, confirmation of employment and proof of residence, passport-size photograph and a photocopy of his national identity card.
They also required an EcoCash registered line for transfer of the money. It is alleged that Chiguware presented a forged payslip, bank statement and confirmation of employment.
