Amos Hlori (39) works under the Police Special Tactics (PSTT) unit and is stationed at Fairbridge Police Camp, yesterday appeared before Bulawayo Magistrate Mr Tinashe Tashaya for robbing a Total Service Station of $158 and a cellphone belonging to Munyaradzi Mujajati (35) who is a petrol attendant using an AK 47.
The robbery was captured on closed circuit television (CCTV) and the victim positively identified Hlori at a parade. Hlori was asked not to plead to attempted murder and armed robbery charges and was remanded in custody to March 15. State allegations are that on February 8 at 3AM, Hlori arrived at the service station with his head covered with a jacket hood before he drew an AK 47 from his jacket and demanded money.
Fearing for his life, Mujajati handed Hlori $158 from a fuel safe and his cell phone. A police report was made and investigating officers tracked and recovered the complainant’s cell phone from a person Hlori allegedly sold the gadget to. The person implicated the accused person before the Mujajati managed to identify Hlori at a parade.
