Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Kudakwashe Choga who escaped arrest last month following a shoot-out with a police crack team in Harare\u2019s Highfield suburb has been arrested in Chitungwiza.<\/p>\n

The wanted suspected armed robber is believed to have been part of a group of criminals operating from South Africa.<\/p>\n

During last month\u2019s shoot-out, Choga managed to flee after sustaining injuries but the police continued looking for him until his subsequent arrest in St Marys, Chitungwiza where he was hiding at his girlfriend\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

The girlfriend, Esther Kambande (24) and Choga\u2019s nephew, Ashton Chikurune of Manyame Park, Chitungwiza have also been arrested for harbouring a criminal and assisting Choga with medication.<\/p>\n

According to police Kambande had been treating the gunshot wounds on Choga who was shot on the thigh and scrotum during the shoot-out.<\/p>\n

Chikurune was also alleged to have been harbouring Choga\u2019s accomplices who have since been arrested and are currently in remand prison.<\/p>\n

Sources close to the investigations told The Herald that investigations were still in progress.<\/p>\n

Choga\u2019s other accomplice, Abel Marufu Mukandawire (40) from Chitungwiza, recently appeared before Harare magistrate Mr Shane Kubonera charged with robbery, rape and aggravated indecent assault.<\/p>\n

Mukandawire allegedly raped one of the victims, forced her mother to perform oral sex on him, before defecating in a bucket of maize meal during a robbery in 2019.<\/p>\n

Choga and Mukandawire are alleged to have been one of the seven people, other being Francis Hazangure, Blessing Gamanya, Edmore Marwizi Mapuranga and Roy Mutemagazi, who robbed the family of a Mercedes Benz into which they loaded property they had stolen.<\/p>\n

They stole cellphones, US$4 110, $700 and other household property which they loaded into the family\u2019s car and drove off.<\/p>\n
