The incident occurred around 10:00 PM on Monday (March 3), in the Mechumua neighborhood, Metangula Municipality, in the Lago district, in Niassa province in north of Mozambique at the local health center, involving a 26-year-old individual named Moisé Rachide.
The culprit was caught red-handed by the midwife, who was attending to a pregnant woman at the time at the health unit. She found the individual with several medicines and immediately informed the center's supervisor, who contacted the Police Station. The police promptly arrived at the health center and arrested the young man.
"Actually, this happened last night, Sunday, when a 26-year-old young man, a resident of the Mechumua neighborhood, was found with medicines at the hospital at 10:00 PM," explained Macabeu Momade, Chief of the Lunho Administrative Post.
Macabeu further added that the individual was taken to the police station, where he was handcuffed. Surprisingly, that same night, the thief managed to escape from the handcuffs and went to a locksmith to have them removed, but it didn’t work out.
The locksmith refused and immediately reported it to the police, who went to arrest him for the second time that same night.
"When he arrived at the police station, he was handcuffed, as we don't have a cell here, and during the night, he escaped and went to look for a locksmith to cut the handcuffs. But when the locksmith saw he was a criminal, he refused to cut them," he stated.
By early afternoon on Monday, the suspect was still at the Lunho
Administrative Post Police Station, awaiting transfer to the Lago District PRM
Command. (Davide
