Three Mutare men recently masqueraded as law enforcement agents in order to loot beer worth US$55.

One of them has since been arraigned before the courts, while the other two are still at large.

Last week, Cuthbert Makotore (36) of Dangamvura appeared before Mutare magistrate, Mr Tendai Mahwe, facing robbery charges.

Makotore pleaded not guilty and was remanded out of custody to August 17 on $2 000 bail.

Mr Chris Munyuki prosecuted.

It is alleged that some time in April 2020 at around 7pm, Makotore, who was in the company of two unidentified men, approached Silence Kunyerezera (26) at his workplace and forcibly opened the back door.

Makotore and his accomplices misrepresented themselves as security personnel enforcing Covid-19 regulations.

They allegedly stole beer worth US$55 and vanished into the darkness.

Makotore was arrested on July 16 after the complainant identified him at Matondo Business Centre just outside Mutare and alerted the police.
