Innocent Chandakaona (29) of Nkulumane in Bulawayo denied the theft charges and illegal use of a company vehicle, when he appeared before Bulawayo magistrate, Franklin Mkhwananzi on Tuesday.
The complainant in the matter was Zimplow internal auditor, Tapiwa Moyo.
It is alleged that on October 16 this year at 12:25am, Chandakaona was on duty at the company premises when he stole a roll of phosphorous bronze bush material from the tools room and used a wheelbarrow to carry it to the car park.
He allegedly loaded the loot in a Zimplow truck and drove off to an unknown destination.
The offence was discovered on October 23 and a report was made to the police. Video footage of the theft recorded through CCTV exposed Chandaona, leading to his arrest. The stolen property is valued at $11 000 and nothing was recovered.
