A high-speed chase involving Fawcetts Security Guards and a retail store manager who was suspected of stealing groceries reportedly resulted in an accident, The Herald reports.
The suspected manager Edmond Nhidza escaped unhurt after he rammed into a Fawcetts Security vehicle that was blocking the road. A security guard who narrated the story said:
Nhidza stole some groceries from the shop worth around $ 1 200. We suspect this was not the first time because he would usually leave office late. He would use his laptop bags to carry the stolen groceries to his car.
On this particular day, Fawcett security guards asked to search his vehicle after suspecting that there was something sinister about his movements. He refused and sped off and we searched all over Masvingo but we could not find him. We then alerted our branches in Gutu and Nyika to be on the lookout. He was then spotted near Mutendi Farm and he immediately drove back towards Masvingo before turning into Chiredzi-Chivhu road
Security guards in Gutu allegedly barricaded the road intending to stop him but he continued speeding with the intention of intimidating them so that they would remove the vehicle on the road.
He then rammed into a stationary vehicle. Fortunately, no other person was injured
Nhidza has since suffered a stroke and could not appear in court.
