A Man from Bulgaria Stole a Jeep.
Adam Markov is 33 years old, from Bulgaria. He pretended to be an investor, but police say he stole a Jeep Cherokee from South Africa and brought it to Zimbabwe, where he put fake license plates on it.
Detectives caught him, and Interpol helped. Markov went to court on Saturday. He has to stay in jail for now, and he will ask to pay bail on Monday.
The police discovered the stolen Jeep on January 10, 2025, after receiving a tip. The Jeep had fake plates that said AGQ 6923. The detectives found the Jeep. Markov had it.
They looked at the Jeep closely. Someone had messed with the chassis number. They removed the real number and put on a fake one. But the engine number was still there. It was CC142923.
The police checked with Interpol. The Jeep was stolen from South Africa. Its real chassis number is 1C4RJFGG3CC142923. The police are trying to find the owner in South Africa.
Markov was in the news before. In September, he said two men from Zimbabwe tricked him. Their names are Barnabas Kavai and Ashley Makara. Markov said they stole $200,000 from him.
