Police in Chipinge have arrested a local man following a fraud report involving the purchase of nine goats. The suspect allegedly received money from a client to buy the livestock but instead kept the cash and stole the animals from a separate owner.
According to police, the accused is expected to appear in court soon to face charges of fraud and stock theft. Cases of livestock fraud and theft remain a concern in Manicaland province, with authorities urging residents to verify livestock sellers before making payments.
