NKURENKURU, 15 FEB (NAMPA)- The Namibian Police (NamPol) in the Kavango West Region on Friday arrested five men in connection with three cases of alleged theft committed at various villages in the region, between 2024 and 2025.
NamPol Chief Inspector Raimbert Muronga informed Nampa that the crimes were committed at Siko village, Musese village and Nzinze village where the suspects allegedly stole four water pumps and elements, three solar panels and one copper wire.
“Between 2024 and 2025 three criminal cases of theft of water pumps, elements, solar panels and copper wire were reported and registered at Kahenge police station,” he said.
Police detectives, Muronga said on Thursday launched an in-depth investigation and followed up on traces of evidence, which led to the recovery of two solar panels, three water pumps, one panga, one axe and one copper wire.
The buyer of the stolen items, a 57-year-old man from Nzinze village was also arrested. “The former teacher allegedly bought the stolen water elements at a lower price and the items were recovered from a borehole at his farm,” he said.
