Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A convicted burglar who was performing community service at Mutare Magistrates\u2019 Court stole a magistrate\u2019s phone and was later caught shoplifting from Pick n Pay Supermarket.<\/p>\n

As reported by The Manica Post<\/b>, Tanaka Svosve of Chikanga Phase Two in Mutare was convicted of unlawful entry into premises when he appeared before Mutare provincial magistrate, Tendai Mahwe recently.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Mazvita Kadenha told the court that on 20 February 2024, at Mutare Magistrates\u2019 Court, Svosve who was doing community service there, broke into the regional magistrate\u2019s office and stole a cellphone.<\/p>\n

Svosve allegedly took advantage of regional magistrate, Phatekhile Msipa\u2019s absence and stole from her office.<\/p>\n

Msipa was in court when Svosve stole the cellphone. Said Kadenha:<\/p>\n

Svosve opened the main entrance door which led to the reception and entered the reception area.<\/p>\n

While inside, Svosve opened another closed door which was not locked and entered into the regional magistrate\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

He stole a Samsung S10 Plus cellphone which was on the table and went away unnoticed.<\/p>\n

Msipa later discovered the offence and reported the matter at Mutare Central Police Station.<\/p>\n

It is further alleged that on that same day, Svosve was arrested by security guards at Pick n Pay Supermarket for shoplifting and was brought to Mutare Central Police Station.<\/p>\n

Upon detention, Svosve was searched and Msipa\u2019s cellphone was recovered in his socks.<\/p>\n

Police officers asked Svosve to unlock the phone but failed and Sergeant Arizona who was on duty became suspicious.<\/p>\n

She checked her records and noticed that Magistrate Msipa had made a report of a stolen phone earlier on.<\/p>\n

Sergeant Arizona invited Msipa to the police station and she positively identified her stolen phone.<\/p>\n

The total value of the stolen phone is US$130 and it was recovered.<\/p>\n

Svosve was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment for stealing from the regional magistrate\u2019s office and 20 days imprisonment for shoplifting from TM Supermarket.<\/p>\n

The four months that had been suspended earlier on in a case that saw him doing community service were then brought into effect.<\/p>\n

He is now serving an effective 34 months and 20 days in jail.<\/p>\n
