The Zimbabwe Republic police are looking for 4 500 criminals who are on the run for committing various offenses.
In a Statement, police national spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said out of the 4 500 the police have since arrested 18 through a simultaneous Southern Region Police Chiefs Cooperation Operation (SARPCCO).
“The ZRP (Zimbabwe Republic Police) recently conducted a simultaneous Southern Region Police Chiefs Cooperation Operation (SARPCCO), code named BASADI from 8 to 10 May 2019.
“By the second day of the operation, 18 wanted persons had been arrested out of 4 583 wanted persons on record across the country’s provinces,” said Asst Comm Nyathi.
He said the police will continue to hunt for the wanted persons in all the country’s provinces.
“The decision for this operation came as a result of decision 22 by SARPCCO police chiefs at the 19th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on May 23, 2014 in Namibia, which mandated National Police Women Network structures to annually conduct this simultaneous regional operation.
“However, the ZRP continues to hunt for these people wanted for various crimes even after the operation is concluded,” said Asst Comm Nyathi.
