A man from Beitbridge has been arrested after faking a robbery of a car he had hired to take to ‘his lobola ceremony’. The car dealership he used shared their statement on what happened.
On Friday, November 1, 2024, H-Metro reported an alleged robbery involving Douglas Chinoona. The report claimed that Chinoona was robbed of a Toyota Hilux and $2,400, which he had supposedly intended for paying lobola (bride price). However, further investigation reveals a more complex story behind this incident.
Vehicle Rental Details and Initial Report
Good 2 Go Car Rental shared that they rented out the Toyota Hilux to Chinoona on Sunday, October 27, 2024. The next day, Chinoona contacted the car rental company, informing them that the vehicle had been stolen from a lodge in Mabelreign. He reported the supposed robbery to the Mabelreign Police Station, claiming both the car and $2,400 intended for lobola had been taken.
This revelation significantly altered the direction of the investigation, exposing Chinoona’s deception, which he reportedly attempted to use as a cover story for Good 2 Go Car Rental and the police.
Legal Actions and Consequences
Following these findings, Douglas Chinoona was arrested and is currently in police custody. He faces multiple charges, including vehicle theft and providing false information to law enforcement.
