Police at Kawale in Lilongwe have arrested a 28-year-old watchman, Jackson Kampeya, for allegedly stealing motor vehicle parts and other property worth K11.9 million from his employer after several truck components reportedly went missing from a garage where he worked.
According to Kawale Police Publicist Sub-Inspector Mabvuto Precious Phiri, the stolen items included alternators, starter motors, condensers, electric wires for Mercedes-Benz, DAF and TATA trucks, as well as three bags of maize.
Some of the stolen property was recovered after investigations revealed it had allegedly been sold to vehicle dismantlers at Malanganga.
Kampeya is expected to appear before court soon on a charge of theft by servant.
