A Hwange resident has been convicted of burglary after stealing pots of food and drinks from two homes.
The accused person broke into the first complainant’s kitchen on September 20, making off with two silver pots containing sadza and beans.
Carlos Ncube, a 26-year-old resident of Makwika village, was identified as the accused person.
The complainant discovered the theft the next morning and tracked the shoe prints to Ncube’s residence.
In a separate incident on the same night, Ncube also burgled a tuck-shop in the same village, stealing soft drinks and mahewu worth ZWG514.17.
All stolen items were recovered, and Ncube was found guilty.
He is set to appear in court today for sentencing.
