Zimbabwean man admits to stealing Ford Ranger

In a video on X by @MDNnewss, a man with one hand covered in bees claimed that he recently stole a Ford Ranger. In the video, he made a desperate plea for the owner to come and get his stolen car, as he believes the bees were because he got bewitched after stating that. He said:

"Guys these bees are troubling me. I stole a 2025 Ford Ranger, I think it belongs to Jah Prayza, to anyone who knows Mukudzei Mukombe, please tell him to come and fetch his car, its in my garage. These bees are stinging me, I've suffered.

The man in the video showed a seemingly swollen hand as he made the "confession", claiming the bees were stinging him. See the clip by clicking here.

Sekenele told Briefly News writer Gloria Masia that modern vehicle theft has become far more sophisticated than many people realise.

“Vehicle theft is something we all know to be an issue in our country, but times have changed in the trends of how criminals steal vehicles because cars are now more complex. Sometimes it’s a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or the vehicle may have been targeted for a while.”

He explained that syndicates are increasingly using advanced methods instead of force.

“Most drivers know about car jamming and hijackings, but criminals are now moving towards high-tech ‘silent’ thefts that happen right under your nose. If you drive a keyless-start vehicle, simple things like keeping your distance in crowded spaces can help prevent criminals from picking up your key signal and cloning it.”

Sekenele also encouraged motorists to take extra precautions to protect their vehicles.

“You can even use two tracking systems so that if one tracker gets jammed, the other is still functional. The rise in vehicle theft is also linked to the demand for spare parts. If a car is popular on the road, it usually becomes popular with syndicates too because the parts are expensive and in high demand.”
