By A Correspondent- Police in Victoria Falls have arrested a mechanic who had terrorized residents by breaking into vehicles stealing car batteries and wheels.

Isaac Desmond Banda (25) of 1377 Chinotimba is facing six counts of theft after breaking into six cars between April and December last year.

He would then sell the parts for cheaper prices

Banda was arrested last week following investigations by police.

Police are making more inquiries on a series of other theft of car parts crimes that have been happening in the city which Banda could be linked to.

Banda appeared before Victoria Falls magistrate Ms Lindiwe Maphosa on Friday charged with six counts of theft.

He applied for bail and the magistrate remanded him in custody to Wednesday for ruling.
