POLICE have arrested 23-year-old Phaeteon Mutiyaya, who operates an illegal liquor outlet in Mbare, for supplying alcohol to minors.

On December 26, a video circulated on various social media platforms showing minors drinking alcohol in Harare’s central business district.

In a statement on Friday, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) said: “The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms the arrest of Phaeteon Mutiyaya (23) for supplying liquor to the minors.

“The suspect operates a shebeen at Block 2C10, Nenyere Flats, Mbare, Harare.”

After initially identifying two of the minors, who are from Epworth, on Thursday police said they have now identified the other nine minors.
