Cop on robbery spree

A 23-year-old police officer, Aloud Munashe Hurumba, was arrested last week over alleged involvement in a series of armed robberies targeting taxi drivers in Harare, while brandishing his service firearm.

Hurumba, who was stationed at Chikurubi Support Unit, Lima Troop Section, was picked up by Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers from homicide section after receiving a tip off.

Following his arrest, four taxi drivers who had been victims of the robbery cases were invited at Harare Central Police Station where an identification parade was conducted and they all fingered him.
