Two Beitbridge-based police officers who allegedly used their firearms to steal a Toyota Prado at a fuel station yesterday appeared before Harare regional magistrate Stanford Mambanje.
The two were accused of stealing a car worth US$60 000.
Andrew Magwenzi and Edmore Nyamaropa, who are based at ZRP Beitbridge Rural were remanded in custody to July 11, pending finalisation of investigations.
They were advised to approach the High Court for bail application.
The complainant in the matter is Timothy Musariranwa of Waterfalls, Harare who is a Senior Compliance Inspector with the National Employment Council, Tourism Department.
The court heard that on April 17, Musariranwa left Mandi Lodge, Beitbridge, driving his motor vehicle, a silver Land Cruiser Prado, to Puma Service Station to re-fuel.
On arrival at the service station, he was allegedly approached by Nyamaropa and his accomplices, Andrew Magwenzi and Prince Kuchekenya, who is still at large.
They were driving an unregistered silver Toyota Corolla.
The trio allegedly produced two unidentified pistols and pointed them at Musariranwa, ordering him to surrender the motor vehicle and he complied.
They allegedly drove the motor vehicle to Harare where they concealed it until detectives from CID VTS Harare received information which led to the recovery of the motor vehicle, and the arrest of the duo.
