Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) have launched a manhunt for a cash-in-transit officer who disappeared from his workplace in Victoria Falls and is suspected of stealing US$86,989 from a vault. National police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident and the search for the suspect.
The theft occurred at a financial services company in the resort city. Authorities believe the employee, whose name has not been publicly released, absconded with the cash. The ZRP has appealed to the public for any information that could lead to the suspect's arrest.
This case highlights ongoing challenges with cash-in-transit security in the region. Police investigations are continuing as they work to recover the stolen funds and apprehend the individual.
