Chiredzi, Zimbabwe – March 14, 2025 | By A Correspondent | ZimEye | The Chiredzi Magistrates’ Court has sentenced a 26-year-old man, Thomas Kwindingwi, to 20 months in prison after he was found guilty of breaking into the home of a public prosecutor stationed at Chiredzi Provincial Magistrate Court.

The burglary took place in the early hours of February 27, 2025, around 1:15 AM, when Kwindingwi used an unidentified object to force open the locked door of the prosecutor’s home while she was asleep.

Once inside, he stole several valuables, including a P37 Pro Itel cellphone, an HP Victus laptop with its charger, and other items. Authorities determined the total value of the stolen property to be $2,915. However, following a police investigation, officers recovered stolen goods worth $1,920 and arrested Kwindingwi.

The court’s ruling reinforces the judiciary’s firm stance against crimes targeting judicial officers and underscores the consequences of burglary. Kwindingwi will now serve his sentence behind bars as law enforcement continues efforts to curb such offenses.
