A chef in Victoria Falls got busted for filing a fake police report. Elias Ncube, forty-eight, told cops he was robbed of twenty-two hundred dollars, money that was actually part of a communal savings pool. His wife later revealed to detectives that he lost it all on sports betting.
Ncube pleaded guilty to providing false information. He told the court he panicked after losing the group's funds, leading him to invent the robbery story back in December. The case fell apart once his spouse, Angela Chuma, gave investigators the real story.
Sentencing is set for Saturday. The prosecutor noted the report triggered a full investigation before the truth came out. Ncube expressed regret over the incident.
