Four people were arrested in Kutama, Zvimba District, home of the late former President Robert Mugabe, on Monday after they were found in possession of household goods believed to have been stolen from four different houses in the area.

The suspects were arrested while trying to transport the loot to Harare.

Police Spokesman Asst Comm Paul Nyathi said property valued at US$12 321 was recovered after police operatives disguised as passengers in a pick-up truck going to Harare, offered a lift to the house breakers.

The suspects loaded the stolen property from four different homes into the pick-up truck and were eventually arrested.
