Two arrested for stealing from a Catholic Sisters’ house in Lilongwe

Police in Kanengo, Lilongwe, have arrested Christopher Leston, aged 23, and Jason Chinengo, 22, on allegations that they have been stealing from a Catholic Sisters’ house in Area 51.

The two, who were working as Garden boys, are accused of stealing some beddings and money amounting to K870,000.

According to Kanengo Police Station Deputy Public Relations Officer Grace Kayisi, on May 6, 2023 the two nuns realized that some beddings in the guest house were missing but there was no sign of a break-in and they first thought their maid had a hand.

She said, a month later, on June 6, 2023 they went to attend a burial ceremony in Mchinji and on their return they found footprints in the house and after checking, they discovered that money and beddings were missing.

Following a report, officers at Kanengo Police Station instituted investigations which have led to the arrest of the two.

Kayisi has disclosed that the law enforcers have since recovered K100, 000, a cellphone and some beddings.

Chinengo hails from Mchinji while Leston is from Lilongwe.
