Gang targeting Chinese homes re-arrested

The alleged thieves have been giving the Chinese entrepreneurs sleepless nights, stealing valuables, especially electronic gadgets and money from the Chinese nationals’ homes and thereafter selling the goods across the border mainly in Zimbabwe and Zambia. The police believe that a lucrative and ready market for goods stolen in Botswana exists in Zimbabwe and Zambia. But on Monday this week, the gang’s luck ran out after they were arrested for allegedly breaking into and stealing from Song Fang’s house in Molapo Estates on April 12, 2019. The accused are Morris Moffat, 34, Ian Moseki, 42, Mosimanegape Setshego, 35, Maano Malaicha, 37, and Tebogo Lomae, 33.

The gang allegedly stole phones of different models, cameras, laptops, notepads, sneakers, and smart watches amongst other goods worth P23,550 from Song’s home.
