Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 82414, member: 636"] Some dude just got jail time for swiping gear from a broadcast van last month. Elton Ndlovu, twenty-three, hit an unlocked ZBC vehicle parked in Bulawayo. He made off with a bag full of tech between the early morning hours. The haul included two laptops, audio equipment, and a bunch of cables. The total value crossed five thousand dollars. Cops grabbed him while he tried to offload the stolen items. Everything got recovered, which probably helped his case a little. The Tredgold Magistrates Court handed down a three-year sentence. They suspended half of that term for a five-year period. He will actually serve eighteen months behind bars. The sentence reflects a straightforward theft from a motor vehicle charge. Getting caught red-handed selling the property really sealed his fate. This kind of bust shows how quick attempts to flip stolen goods can backfire. [/QUOTE]
