BULAWAYO – Former Highlanders FC midfielders Eric Mudzingwa and Denzel Khumalo have reportedly been arrested with allegations of cellphone theft surfacing according to a report by B Metro.
Details surrounding the incident remain unclear, but B Metro quotes a purported police statement circulating on social media, particularly WhatsApp suggesting the pair was involved in a cellphone theft at Total Shops in Mpopoma, Bulawayo.
The statement alleges that Khumalo is the one who snatched the cellphone before handing it to Mudzingwa who then “disappeared into the darkness”.
“ZRP Western Commonage is looking for Denzel Khumalo, who is wanted for theft of a cellphone at Total Shops in Mpopoma Bulawayo.
“The case occurred on 03/04/24 at around 7pm when Denzel Khumalo snatched a cellphone from the complainant and handed it to Eric Mudzingwa who disappeared into the darkness.
“However, Eric Mudzingwa was arrested but the cellphone was not recovered. Eric is in Police custody assisting the police with investigations.
“Denzel Khumalo is still on the run. Efforts to locate him are fruitless as he is not even picking calls. If seen please advise any nearest police station,” reads the purported ZRP statement.
However, it is important to note that these are just allegations at this point, and due process must be followed before any conclusions are drawn.
