A man from Bulawayo, Joel Chirau, was arrested on Friday for stealing National Railways of Zimbabwe property.
The NRZ confirmed the case on their Twitter handle.
“A Bulawayo-based scrap dealer Joel Chirau, member of an apostolic sect, was arrested on Friday and charged with conspiracy after sending 8 minors to steal NRZ property at Material Yard in Bulawayo. The suspects were taken to Donnington Police station.”
Vandalisation and theft of equipment have been some of the major challenges faced by the NRZ over the years.
Recently, a man was shot and injured after being caught by NRZ security officers vandalising telephone poles and hangers in Headlands, Manicaland Province.
The suspect was arrested and handed over to the Zimbabwe Republic Police while his other accomplices escaped.
The NRZ has since introduced employment incentives for whistle-blowers who provide information leading to the recovery of stolen property as a way of effectively dealing with theft and vandalism of the State-owned company’s equipment and infrastructure.
