A rogue element causing mayhem in the Harare CBD pretending to be a parking attendant and extorting money from residents has been unmasked.
His name is Farai G Garachani, a former Harare Metropolitan Police Patrolman who was dismissed from the City of Harare early this year for extorting residents.
It has come to our attention that there is a gang of criminals masquerading as municipal police officers who are threatening and harassing residents.
Authorities have been alerted with a view of arresting and prosecuting the suspects.
We call upon anyone who may have fallen victim to this man and his gang to immediately report to the police and municipal authorities.
We take this opportunity to thank the residents who continue to expose such criminal elements.
The City of Harare urges residents to be vigilant and continue exposing and reporting such transgressions.
All municipal police must adequately identify themselves and must wear uniforms at all times.
