<vote /> Police have arrested two more suspects, Chris Kadungure alias Boiter Makiyi and Kelvin Makiyi who were part of the fake police roadblock in Belvedere where $56 800 was stolen from a Harare businessman, Junaid Pervaiz. The arrest of the two brings the total number of suspects rounded up over the heist to six, following the arrest of Dickson Morosi, Kundai Makwarimba, Fortune Sibanda and Bekezela Masuku, who are all in custody.

Kelvin and Boiter appeared before Harare magistrate Mr Tendai Mahwe yesterday charged with robbery. They were remanded in custody to today for bail application. Boiter Makiyi has four previous convictions, which include assault, unlawful possession of a firearm and extortion. Kelvin Makiyi has a previous conviction for theft and a pending case of fraud.

Four of the suspects who are already in custody were denied bail by Mahwe who ruled that there was overwhelming evidence against the suspects.

The cars, which were all bought on July 27, include a Mercedes Benz, Toyota Altezza and a Mazda Familia. Kelvin led to the recovery of a bed and a wardrobe he had bought using the proceeds.
