Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Zimbabwean-born Zywai Nyahoda was jailed for four-and-a-half months following a theft incident in an Oxford Tesco, UK.<\/p>\n

Nyahoda had gone into the store to steal goods and was stopped by staff members. When they planned to call the police, Nyahoda threatened them with a needle, resulting in his conviction for threatening behaviour. Recorder Alexander McGregor gave Nyahoda Giving 18 weeks\u2019 imprisonment. He said:<\/p>\n

People working in shops and dealing with shoplifters should not have to face threats of that very serious nature.<\/p>\n

Nyahoda had 15 previous convictions for 54 offences, many for theft and related crimes.<\/p>\n

His lawyer told the court that he originally came to the UK from Zimbabwe via Germany when he was still a young child. He was brought up in Oxford by his grandmother and had a good academic record, but became addicted to hard drugs after using cannabis.<\/p>\n

Nyahoda\u2019s drug use started with cannabis and escalated to heroin after a serious car accident left him hospitalised for months. The death of his grandmother caused him to spiral, leading to the incident at Tesco.<\/p>\n

His lawyer said has since managed to get clean and is now on a drug-free wing in prison. He plans to stay with an uncle in south Oxfordshire after his release.<\/p>\n
