HARARE
–
Police
in
Mashonaland
Central
are
hunting
one
of
their
own
–
an
assistant
inspector
who
allegedly
vanished
with
a
marked
police
car.
The
alleged
vehicle
thief
is
named
as
Assistant
Inspector
Mandizvidza.
An
August
13
internal
police
memo
to
all
stations
in
Mashonaland
East,
seen
by
ZimLive,
urged
police
officers
to
mount
roadblocks
and
intercept
Mandizvidza
and
the
vehicle,
a
Ford
Ranger.
“May
all
stations
in
Mazowe
district
be
on
the
lookout
for
ZRP
Ford
Ranger
Reg
033
with
police
colours
being
driven
by
Assistant
Inspector
Mandizvidza,”
the
memo
from
the
Mazowe
district
police
chief
said.
“The
vehicle
is
stolen
at
PGHQ
(Police
General
Headquarters)
by
A/Insp
Mandizvidza
and
is
believed
to
be
in
Mashonaland
Central
province.
Stations
to
mount
roadblocks
and
patrols
to
be
on
the
lookout
for
the
stolen
vehicle.
If
located
arrest
and
detain
for
CID
Bindura.”
It
was
not
clear
from
a
reading
of
the
memo
how
Mandizvidza,
a
middle
rank
officer,
allegedly
stole
the
vehicle.
