The suspect, famously known as Nana among his peers, was smoked out on Sunday, February 4, 2024 at Luwani Estate in Neno District, where he has been hiding.<\/p>\n<p>The woman, Lilian Manda, an Area 49 resident, has been receiving, and selling some of the stolen property on behalf of Jonah and his fellow criminal gangs.<\/p>\n<p>She has been charged with receiving stolen property, admitted to have received from the suspect nine brand-new motorcycles, which she later sold in Nkhota-kota. Police have since recovered them all.<\/p>\n<p>In December last year, after conniving with a security guard, Jonah and his accomplices who were already arrested, broke into a warehouse situated along Maula Street, and went away with the said property.<\/p>\n<p>They hired a 10 tonner truck, Scania Van, registration number DA 1610 to ferry the stolen items on two separate occasions to Area 25.
