A company director residing in Tynwald North, Harare, lost a firearm, US$12,000 in cash, and other valuables when thieves broke into his home recently. The incident occurred while the homeowner was attending a church service in Warren Park.
Upon returning home, 44-year-old Onismus Sosa discovered that the sliding gate lock had been damaged and a front dining room window was broken.
Further inspection of the house revealed that two television sets, a Sony 50-inch and a Toshiba 43-inch, were missing from the dining room.
Sosa then checked his main bedroom, where he found that his firearm, albeit without its magazine, had been stolen, along with US$12,000 in cash.
The thieves also took four formal suits, a Lenovo laptop, a Dell laptop, an HP Core i5 laptop, a Samsung tablet, and two lithium batteries.
Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, the spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) in Harare Province, confirmed the case, saying investigations are currently underway.
