By A Correspondent- Police in Harare have intercepted a Honda Fit which was loaded with 16 live goats.

On its Twitter handle Thursday, ZRP said a gang of five suspects were forced to flee the scene when the culprits were caught red-handed.

Said the ZRP, “Police in Harare are investigating circumstances surrounding the recovery of a Honda Fit motor vehicle, registration number ADX 1619, which had 16 goats crammed in the boot on 4/05/21 in a bushy area near Shamva tollgate in Highlands.

“The 5 suspects who were evading the tollgate and roadblock through a dust road fled from the scene. Investigations have established that the goats were stolen in Mutawatawa.”

Police later reported that the owner of the Honda Fit has since been arrested but did not give further details on how five adult individuals and 16 goats could all fit in a Honda Fit.
