Police in Nkhata Bay have arrested a 28-year-old woman, Kate Thosi, on allegations of stealing K7,475,000 from her employer.
Nkhata Bay Police Station spokesperson, Enala Kalua, said the incident is believed to have occurred between 25 November and 3 December 2025 at Nkhata Bay turn-off.
Kalua explained that Thosi was employed by Darwin Kaunda Gandali, who operates an Airtel Money agency at the location. The business reportedly operated without problems until 3 December, when Gandali carried out a stock-taking exercise and discovered that a large sum of money was missing.
Police say Gandali initially suspended Thosi for three days to allow her to refund the missing amount. However, she allegedly failed to do so and switched off her mobile phone, prompting the matter to be reported to police.
Thosi was arrested yesterday and is expected to appear in court soon to answer charges related to theft. Investigations are continuing.
