Former President Robert Mugabe reportedly lost 119 laptops and seven desktop computers from locked containers at the Polo Grounds adjacent to Zimbabwe House.
The robbery was discovered on Tuesday when the Mugabes were moving their belongings from Zimbabwe House to their private residence in Borrowdale. Former First Lady Grace Mugabe made a police report on the same day under case number CR110/04/18, with a detective Nyabonde being the investigating officer. A source told NewsDay:
They broke into three containers using a bolt cutter. The containers had personal belongings of the (former) First Family. When Mugabe resigned after the military intervention, the former First Family was asked to remove their belongings and because of limited time, some of the items were left in containers at Polo Grounds next to the presidential helipad.
Last month Grace claimed to have lost laptops at the Mazowe orphanage home after gold panners invaded Smithfield Farm but Home Affairs Minister Obert Mpofu dismissed the claims by Grace as false.
