According to H-Metro, the breakthrough came after detectives traced one of the mobile phones stolen during the robberies.

Their investigations eventually led them to Murasi, who was arrested.

CID spokesperson Detective Inspector Rachel Muteweri confirmed the arrest.

“On 15 August 2026, detectives from CID VTS Harare tracked one of the stolen cellphones which led to the arrest of the accused person who is implicating his accomplices,” Muteweri said.

Muteweri said Murasi’s accomplices have not yet been apprehended.

Police are continuing investigations as they work to establish the full extent of the robbery spree.

The arrest also highlights the risks faced by ride-hailing drivers who can be targeted by criminals posing as ordinary passengers.

Police are expected to pursue further leads provided by Murasi as the investigation continues.
