This follows the conviction of the suspects in separate incidents this month.
In an interview, National Police spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the developments.
“After the recent arrests by the ZRP, the conviction and sentencing of accused persons by the courts for drug and substance abuse, peddling, and trafficking, the ZRP coordinated the destruction of exhibits as directed by the Government.
“The ZRP reiterates that there is no turning back in the fight against drug and substance abuse in the country,” he said.
