Meanwhile, police detectives from the CID Drugs and Narcotics section in Harare arrested Memory Mukwasani (33) for illegal possession of dagga.
Mukwasani was arrested on Monday following a tip-off.
It is alleged that police detectives trailed a foreign-registered bus to a house along Arcturus Road, Highlands, where groceries were being offloaded into a DAF truck.
Upon searching the vehicles, the detectives recovered 59.5kg of dagga, leading to Mukwasani’s arrest.
