The Zambia Police Service has launched a full-scale manhunt for Constable Emmanuel Tembo, an officer of the Protective Unit Headquarters, who allegedly stole K622,483 from a bank on September 15, 2025, while on duty. According to Police Public Relations Officer Rae Hamoonga, Tembo was armed with an AK47 rifle loaded with 30 rounds of ammunition when he reportedly entered the bank under the pretext of performing his official duties. “Attempts by bank staff and security officers to apprehend him proved futile as he fled in an unknown direction,” Mr. Hamoonga said. “The Zambia Police Service strongly condemns such grave misconduct and betrayal of public trust by an officer entrusted with safeguarding life and property,” Mr. Hamoonga stated. No one is above the law,” Mr. Hamoonga emphasized.
