A 37-year-old man, who worked as an agent for Be Forward, recently appeared in court after allegedly defrauding a police officer of US$5,700.
The accused was remanded in custody until July 2 for a bail application.
According to court documents, newsreportzim.com learned that in June of last year, Forget Mguza was engaged by Simbarashe Makonese, an officer based at Mabvuku Police Station, to assist in purchasing a car from South Africa.
“Sometime in June 2023, Simbarashe Makonese, based at Mabvuku Police Station, wanted to purchase a Honda Fit Hybrid car from South Africa,” the report reads.
Mguza provided his CBZ Bank account number to Makonese, who deposited the money on June 30 of the same year.
Despite meeting Mguza’s requirements, he failed to deliver the vehicle, prompting Makonese to file a police report.
