Accorinng to Ndirande Police Station spokesperson Inspector Widson Nhlane, the Police Station recently recorded cases of motorcycle robbery and theft within the township.
Upon receipt of the reports, the station through Criminal Investigation Department, swiftly made a follow up through Intelligence driven collection and got a tip that some of the stolen motorbikes are at Migowi in Phalombe.
The detectives visited the area and successfully recovered two motorcycles and arrested Daniel Saoda in connection to the incidents.
After being interviewed, Daniel confessed to have bought two motorcycles from a person who comes from Blantyre and led to the arrest of Jaffali Emmanuel.
