National police authorities have announced last Saturday’s arrest of a 33-year old Harare man who was impersonating a police officer in the city’s central business district.

Clad in a police uniform, the suspect, Obvious Mutani had reportedly arrested the complainant for an unspecified offence before demanding a US$200 bribe.
