Police in Mchinji have instituted investigations to trace suspected criminals who have been receiving motorcycles and other properties stolen from Zambia.
Mchinji Public Relations Officer, Limbani Mpinganjira says the investigations have been initiated to trace Sambulukani Mbewe and Emmanuel Phiri after the police arrested two suspects in connection to the offence in question when the Chipata/Zambia police lodged a complaint regarding an increase in motorcycle robberies.
“Police organised an intelligence-driven operation and raided the premises of the culprits who had already bolted and recovered two unregistered motorcycles and a 42-inch plasma television after a thorough search,” said Mpinganjira.
Meanwhile, police investigations have been launched to arrest Mbewe and Phiri from Kapezi Village who are on the run.
Police are urging people in the district especially those along the Zambia/Malawi border to report any suspicious activity to the nearest police station.
