Makoni worked as a salesperson at the complainant’s warehouse and had keys to the warehouse, which he used to gain access at any time.
The four allegedly stole the engines from the warehouse in July, loaded them onto hired trucks, and took them to Kaguvi Street for sale.
They then shared the money among themselves.
After receiving a tip-off, the complainant carried out a stock take and discovered the missing engines.
The police were informed and the four were arrested on Tuesday.
Nothing was recovered.

The ministry of foreign affairs on Friday disowned a Facebook account purportedly belonging to the country’s ambassador to Zambia, Charity Charamba, saying it was fake and should be ignored.
The account, which the ministry described as an impersonation, is inviting the public to invest in fraudulent pyramid schemes.
It has the image of the diplomat in police uniform, her former job.
