Beitbridge regional magistrate Innocent Bepura has sentenced a 34-year-old man to 10 years in prison for stealing copper cables at the border town’s duty-free shop.
Prosecutor Claude Tadzembwa said on December 6, 2022, Sailas Stewart Maodzeke went to the Duty-Free Shop and dug out copper cables which supply and distribute electricity around the shop before he cut the cables from the household electricity distributor box.
He was spotted and tried to run away but was caught by border security Gwinyai Chibururu with the assistance of his son Elvis, who handed him over to the police.
Police recovered one pliers and one blade which Maodzeke used to steal copper cables. Maodzeke was also found with someone else’s passport.
Bepura ordered him to pay a fine of ZWL$10 000 fine or spend 10 days in prison for the unlawful possession of Silvester Tinos Makuyu’s passport.
