Police in Mzimba have arrested four suspects linked to motorbike thefts and illegal weapons possession.

Officers apprehended Mike Hara, 19, in Mzuzu City on January 30, 2025, following a surveillance operation. A search of his Masasa Township home revealed an unlicensed pistol, leading to charges under the Firearms Act. Hara resides in Kapokolo Village, Mzimba.

Three additional suspects face charges related to stolen motorbikes. Police detained George Banda, 20, with a Savaja motorbike from Kunawani Village. Limbani Watson, 26, had possession of a Honda motorbike from Nsenga Village in Thyolo. Officers found Thokozani Phiri, 38, with a SanLG motorbike from Kafwamsala Village.
