He said Kawara, Ncube and Dube were allegedly seen by their supervisor Mr Jefta Pedzisayi while committing the offence.
The court heard that Mr Pedzisayi raised the alarm before Kawara, Ncube and Dube took to their heels.
The court heard that the supervisor informed the mine owner, Mr Elia Mavhundutse, who reported the matter to the police leading to the arrest of the accused and the recovery of the 9 grams of toasted gold from a buyer where they had sold it.
The recovered gold has been taken for weighing to determine its value.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge and were remanded in custody to December 21.
