Assault victim steals cop’s phone

A CHEEKY Hurungwe villager went to Kenzamba Police Station to report an assault case, but later sneaked out with officer-in-charge’s cellphone after being left alone in the charge office.

Ranganai Goresha (52) was last week convicted on his own plea of guilty to theft charges when he appeared before Chinhoyi magistrate Tapiwa Nyamandi.

He was sentenced to five months in prison, but two months were suspended on condition of good behaviour, while the remainder were also set aside on condition he performs 105 hours community service at Kenzamba Primary School.
