Godfrey Chagwiza, 34, had pleaded not guilty but was convicted.
On May 8 at around 8AM, the police officer was accompanying her sister to board a bus to Zvishavane at Renkini bus terminus when Chagwiza approached them.
Chagwiza tried to persuade the pair to board a certain bus before trying to snatch their bags against their will.
The police officer, 33, said Chagwiza tried to steal her bags and then fondled her breasts.
Chagwiza was sentenced to 12 months in jail. Six months were suspended on condition that he does not commit a similar crime within five years and the remaining six months were suspended on condition that performs 410 hours of community service.
