Meanwhile, Chief Liteta of the Lenje speaking people of Chibombo District has condemned the theft incident describing it as retrogressive to the development of the district and his chiefdom.

Chief Liteta has since appealed to the government to consider deploying more police officers in the area as a way of enhancing security.

He  said  that security in his chiefdom has continued to be porous because there is little police presence in the area.

The Traditional said population in his chiefdom has kept on rising making it difficult for the few police officers in the area to maintain law and order.

Chief Liteta said the spate of theft and other crimes that the area is now experiencing is expected to rise especially when farmers start harvesting their crops.

The traditional leader said other crimes are also expected to escalate as the district continues to develop.

He therefore called for more police presence in the area for enhanced security.
