Madzivanyika claimed in court that he “did not know” breaking out of police custody was a crime, a statement that left the gallery in stitches.

Magistrate Manwere, however, was not amused: “This is a serious offence that undermines law enforcement.

A custodial sentence is necessary. ”The court heard that Madzivanyika had been arrested on 6 August for theft of property entrusted to him.

But instead of spending the night in a cell, he decided to play cat and mouse with the law.

At 2AM on 7 August, he crept into the ceiling, dropped into a corridor, and smashed his way out through a window.

Cops gave chase but he disappeared into the dark.

His freedom was short-lived — by the afternoon, officers tracked him down in Nketa 9 and dragged him back to the same station he had escaped from.

He was also ordered to pay US$25 to cover the broken window panes by 1 September. 🔗
