The Zimbabwe Republic Police has widened investigations into a case in which four raffle ticket books for the Commissioner General of Police’s Funfair were stolen at Harare Central Police Station around 0630 hours on Tuesday.

The books contained more than 350 tickets. The tickets worth $2 each were supposed to be sold to both police officers and members of the public. The raffle draw is set for October 7 at the Morris Depot Grounds and ticket holders stand a chance of winning 10 vehicles and other consolation prizes.

Sources yesterday said several police officers had been questioned in connection with the case but no arrests have been made.

Harare provincial police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Tarirai Dube on Wednesday warned the public against buying the tickets.

“The Zimbabwe Republic Police Harare province would like to inform its community and all concerned citizens that the following four raffle ticket books for the Commissioner General of Police’s Funfair 2017 went missing on September 19, 2017 at about 0630hours at ZRP Central Charge Office.

“Members of the public/community are advised not to buy any tickets with the following serial numbers; Book number four with serial numbers 0014351-400, Book number five with serial numbers 0014401-500, Book number six with serial numbers 0014501-600 and Book number seven with serial numbers 0014601-700,” she said.

Asst Insp Dube urged members of the public to report to any nearest police station if they come across anyone selling the missing raffle tickets.

Commissioner-General Funfair, which is an annual event, is the brainchild of the Commissioner-General of Police, Dr Augustine Chihuri.
