A till supervisor with OK Supermarkets’ Chipinge branch has been dragged to court on allegations of stealing groceries worth $12 349 from his employer.
Vhukile Mlambo of the medium density area of Chipinge appeared before Magistrate Elizabeth Hanzi facing theft charges early this week.
He was not asked to plead and was remanded out of custody on his own cognisant to 28 July for trial.
Prosecutor Edmore Manhanganisa alleged on 17 July, Mlambo, who was not on duty, went to OK Supermarket and stole the grocery. He said:
On July 17, Mlambo went to the supermarket as a customer. While inside, he took 31X2kgs Hullets brown sugar, three loaves of bread and only paid for the three loaves of bread and 1X2kg sugar.
The incident was caught on CCTV leading to Mlambo’s arrest and recovery of the stolen sugar.
