By A Correspondent- A security guard under Blackshark Security Company reportedly connived with a shift manager and stage-managed a robbery at Chicken Inn Chisipite  before getting away with US$1 730 and ZW$4 000 recently.

The security guard, Robson Tawanda Chiriseri, 28, appeared at the Harare Magistrates’ Court on Monday and the matter was remanded to 13 August for bail application.

According to court papers, on 6 August 2021, at Chicken Inn, Chisipite, Harare, the accused person, who is a security guard under Blackshark Security Company and was on duty the day in question, hatched a plan with his accomplice,  Talent Mushoshoma, a Shift Manager at Chicken Inn, Chisipite, who is still at large, to steal from the company, and they stage-managed a robbery.

It is alleged that the accused person left the company doors unlocked to give his accomplices easy access into the rooms.

Further allegations are that, once inside the rooms, Mushoshoma took the safe keys which had been left on the shelf, unlocked the safe and stole cash amounting to US$I 730. 00, and ZW$4 000. 00.

Mushoshoma then proceeded to where Chiriseri was seated and was given handcuffs and pepper spray which the latter had on duty.

It is the State’s case that Mushoshoma then “handcuffed” Chiriseri with the handcuffs and pepper-sprayed him to make it appear as if he had been robbed. Afterwards, he(Mushoshoma), went away with the money which they were to share between themselves later.
