Through tireless efforts, they meticulously followed leads that could potentially break the case. Their determination paid off with a significant breakthrough: the arrest of Martin Mungayi, a Zimbabwean national.
Mungayi, who was attempting to escape to Zimbabwe, was intercepted on a bus, thanks to the pivotal role played by an informer.
The informer provided critical details, including the bus name, its location, and a photo of Mungayi, enabling the police to act swiftly and apprehend the suspect before he could cross the border.
