Provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the case to H-Metro and identified the complainant as Midmore Karinga of Chinhoyi.

According to Inspector Chikanza, Karinga parked his red Isuzu two-tonne truck, registration number AHI 8926, before going into the nightclub.

“Police are investigating a theft of motor vehicle. The complainant parked a red Isuzu 2 tonne truck, registration AHI 8926, at a local night club along Harare Street and went into the club.

He left the car keys on the ignition. The doors of the vehicle were not locked,” said Insp Chakanza.

Realises Mistake 45 Minutes Later

According to police, Karinga only remembered that he had left the truck unsecured about 45 minutes later.
