Female Traffic Cop Caught In A US$200 Bribe Trap

A female police officer in the traffic unit attached to Southerton Police Station in Harare this week appeared in court after she was caught while receiving a US$150 bribe.

The 27-year-old Definate Mutonya, had reportedly asked motorist Nobert Chikumbo to pay a US$200 bribe after he had failed to produce a driver’s licence.

Chikumbo paid US$30 at the spot and told Mutonya that she would get the balance from his relatives he had called over the phone.

He then alerted police about the transaction and a trap was set leading to Mutonya’s immediate arrest and recovery of the money.

Meanwhile, Mutonya is now out on $500 bail while the matter was remanded to February 25. She was ordered to continue residing at her current home and not interfere with witnesses.
