Police at Lingadzi in Lilongwe have arrested a man identified as Innocent Munkhondya who was working as a Security Guard for Serengete Energy and managed to recover properties worth MK3,300,000.00.
According to Police investigations, they established that on June 16, 2023, the suspect took advantage of his co-worker’s absence from duty, for failing to report for duties as he fell sick.
The suspect broke into the office where he stole a fridge, 58-inch plasma TV, a microwave, four office chairs, and plastic chairs.
After committing the offense, the suspect disappeared and never reported for work.
