Terrence Mawawa, Chiredzi | A Triangle based cop made a false police report claiming he lost $21 960 and a vehicle in a robbery incident at his house in a bid to avoid payment of debt.
Constable Admire Magodhlo was arrested last week after making the false robbery report at Triangle Police Station since he had accrued an astronomical debt.Magodhlo owns several Ecocash outlets in Triangle and Chiredzi. Magodhlo connived with one Philip Kwangware who works at one of his shops to make the false police report. He told Kwangware he would leave the door at his house open.
Kwangware was also asked to drive Magodhlo’s Honda Stream vehicle to Nuanetsi range where he dumped the car.Magodhlo also instructed Kwangware to apply engine oil on the steering in order to avoid the detection of fingerprints.
The cop promised to pay Kwangware $ 200 after the fake robbery report. However police detectives interrogated Kwangware who disclosed what had transpired, leading to Magodhlo’s arrest.
“The said officer made a false police report in a bid to avoid payment of debt. However after comprehensive investigations we discovered that the whole story was fabricated.We are finalising investigations on the matter,” a Triangle based cop told ZimEye.com
