The court further heard that one Tanaka Mufamba who was at the working place on night duty witnessed the burglary.
The accused persons allegedly shared the loot and gave some to Mufamba so that he would not reveal the offence.
Mufamba was arrested by the police after receiving a tip-off. Mufamba then exposed the other two.
Police recovered 1 box of cerevita, 2×500g biscuits and one box of cornflakes from Mutumbi.
Silaigwana remanded the matter to 22 June 22 2022 for continuation of trial.
