Police caught three men who robbed folks and raped women around Mvuma last fall. These arrests solved many crimes that happened at Central Estates and Moffat Business Centre. According to Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko from Midlands police, they nabbed Edward Nhokwara (20), Devine Nyasha Gapu (19), and Emmanuel Mavhundutse (22) for these attacks.
Back in October 2024, bad guys scared everyone who lived or ran shops in these areas. They showed up during dark hours waving an axe, forcing people to hand over money and stuff. These same criminals also sexually assaulted female victims after stealing their belongings. The police started hunting these crooks after nine separate attacks were reported.

Kadoma cops just put the brakes on folks carrying dangerous items around town for the next four months. They banned anyone from having spears, axes, swords, knives, or daggers because crime rates have jumped up lately. The police chief, Musiyalela Mwezi, announced this rule starts March 10 and runs through June 10, 2025. You cannot bring these weapons into any public area.
The rules apply whether you hide the weapon or carry it out in the open. This ban also covers having these items in your car. The police department made this decision after seeing many fights and public safety problems throughout the district. Anyone caught breaking these rules faces serious trouble with the law.

A Harare court heard charges against Rocky-Thomas Nlosikhona Mkhethiwa, who allegedly stole $112,000 from his workplace. The court accused him of two separate fraud counts. Magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa granted him bail at $1,000 and scheduled his next appearance for April 24.
The first complaint came from Evolution Group Limited through managing director January Norman. Court papers showed Mkhethiwa worked as the cashier and payments officer with full access to company bank accounts. From December 1, 2024, through January 15, 2025, he reportedly sent $112,000 to various businesses, pretending these transfers had management approval.

Thieves made off with $105,000 worth of merchandise from Mohammed Murad Mussa's warehouse located in Graniteside, Harare. Mussa has no relation to the businessman who passed away earlier.

They carefully locked everything back up before disappearing, making the crime less obvious at first glance. The local police department knows about the situation, according to Harare provincial...
