The three appeared in court this afternoon before magistrate Sekesai Chiwundura.
Former Mutasa South Member of Parliament and Mutare Mayor Misheck Kagurabadza and two youths, Knowledge Nyamhoka and Allen Mukodzani, were arrested last month facing theft charges.
They are out of custody on $150 bail each.
Brian James is the complainant in this case representing the MDC and is believed to be aligned to the camp reportedly led by Tendai Biti, the Secretary General.
It is alleged that on 28th April at about 1800hrs at the MDC-T offices at 26B Carrington Drive, the three, acting on connivancem broke into the party offices by breaking the locker secured by a locked key with an iron hoe to gain entry into the office.
The state alleges that they stole a Dell Computer Monitor, one Dell computer Central Processing Unit (CPU), one Techcom Computer CPU, one Omega fan, one photocopier, two computer keyboards and various accessories and packed the items into Kagurabadza’s vehicle, a Mazda T50 twin cab.
The accused persons subsequently handed themselves over to the Mutare Central Police station after learning that they were wanted for questioning.
Police recovered all the items, valued at $2,000.
The three were represented by Chris Ndlovu of Gonese and Ndlovu Associates.
