Roland Ncube(30)from Bulawayo’s Nkulumane Suburb was arrested on Monday night, mere hours after he had been released during the Presidential Amnesty where President Emmerson Mnangagwa released 3 000 prisoners. Ncube was arrested around 11 pm after he broke into a house and stole property worthy $670. He was caught by police officers on patrol while carrying his loot.
Appearing before Western Commonage magistrate Mr Lungile Ncube, the hapless convict pleaded guilty to unlawful entry charges but disputed the property that he had stolen. Said Ncube,
I broke into the house and stole the television and Nokia phone only, I never stole any money, clothes or blankets.
This was after the prosecutor Petros Shoko said
He smashed the toilet window to gain entry into the house. The accused stole a 42 inch plasma TV, a Nokia cellphone, two blankets, 2kgs rice, 2kgs sugar, 2 litres of cooking oil, a pair of shoes and some clothes.
The magistrate remanded him in custody to the 6th of April for trial.
