Patrick Mutenha popularly known as Chimpa has been apprehended by the Criminal Investigation Department Theft Squad (VTS) on alleged involvement in fraud, extortion and unauthorised sale of client vehicles.
Mutenha had been on the run from the authorities since last Friday following reports of three cases of fraud, extortion and vehicle theft against him.
However, the CID VTS crack team finally closed in on him this morning at Arundel Village, where he was reportedly in the process of defrauding another client.
According to authorities, Mutenha’s modus operandi involved deceiving unsuspecting clients and subsequently selling their vehicles without their consent. Moreover, he would make threats, invoking names of very influential people, including members of the First Family such as Emmerson Jnr, Sean and Collins Mnangagwa and other big names like Scott Sakupwanya.
Speaking on the matter, a spokesperson for the VID VTS emphasised the gravity of the charges against Chimpa and reaffirmed the department’s commitment to ensuring justice for the victims.
