Police in Harare have impounded a car belonging to former Mashonaland Central Province and Resident Minister Ephraim Masawi. The Toyota Prado was impounded after it was allegedly used by unidentified men to carry tyres and goods stollen from a company in Msasa.
Masawi confirmed that the vehicle was indeed his, “Yes, it is my vehicle but I cannot comment further because the matter is now under investigation,’’ said Masawi.

Police are investigating allegations that the vehicle might have been used in other robberies.

In another case police arrested the driver of Deputy Minister of Health and Child Welfare Dr Edwin Muguti for allegedly using his boss’s car in an armed robbery spree. The vehicle was impounded after it was found abandoned in Msasa.

“It was dumped at the company by unknown suspects. This follows reports that the previous night, the premises were broken into and 76 tyres were stolen,” Police Superintendent Andrew Phiri said.

Dr Muguti’s driver Rodwell Dube, alias Rodwell Gwangwawa, was arrested on Saturday in Chitungwiza on suspicion of using the minister’s vehicle as he masterminded armed robberies in Banket, Chegutu, Kadoma and Chinhoyi targeting gold mines and foreign currency dealers.
