By A Correspondent- Michael Robinson (49) was found guilty of three counts of theft when he appeared before magistrate Masimba Chikodzere. A serial thief, who was caught on camera while breaking into a car, which was parked at Avondale Shopping Centre, has been sentenced to four years in prison.

Robinson was arrested earlier on this year after a CCTV recorded video, of him breaking and stealing from a car at Avondale Shopping Centre went viral on social media.

Evidence put forward by the investigating officer, Artwell Chidziva, showed that the state had a strong case against Robinson who is a serial offender.

It is alleged that if the Robinson is let loose he will commit further offences or flee. Shephard Makonde prosecuted the case.
