Two Victoria Falls teenagers have appeared in court after they stole a parked Toyota Fortuner that they found outside a house before ramming into a bakery.
Resident magistrate Godswill Mavenge on Friday last week heard this when the two teenagers, Lumukani Nyathi (19) of Mkhosana Suburb and Elijah Himuza (17) from Chinotimba high-density suburb appeared before him charged with theft.
They were not asked to plead to stealing Bradford Clive Spencer’s car which was parked at his 489 Jacaranda Crescent residency.
The state alleged that on November 21, during the day, the two accused and Itai Munkuli who is still at large, acting in common purpose hatched a plan to steal Spencer’s Toyota Fortuner.
“The following day at around 9pm, the three accused person proceeded to the house and stoke a Toyota Fortuner before driving off to house number 6033 Mkhosana where they picked Nobert Sibanda and Theophillus Moyo before proceeding to Chidobe, ” court records read.
“They then drove back the following day at 1am and went to Chinotimba Business Center, where upon arrival Itai Munkuli was now driving the car and rammed on a wall at Wezha Igamu Bakery.
“Elijah Himuza then took over and managed to reverse the car and park it properly before fleeing the scene, leaving the car and its keys.”
They were remanded in custody, pending their plea at Hwange Regional Court on Monday.
The car was valued at US$30 000.
