Cellphone thief jailed 18months
Kenneth Nyangani ·
A 25-YEAR-OLD burglar who early this month broke into an electrical shop in Mutare and stole cellphones worth over $5 000 has been sentenced to 18 months in jail.
Tatenda Rukowo was yesterday convicted on his own plea of guilty to the charge when he appeared before magistrate Sekai Chiundura.
He will, however, serve an effective nine-month prison term after six months were suspended on condition of good behaviour and another three months set aside on condition he pays restitution of $2 199 to the complainant Osondu Onuabuchukwu by May 15 this year.
