Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s Criminal Investigation Service (SERNIC) has arrested four individuals, including a 74-year-old woman, for drug trafficking in the central city of Beira, according to a report on Radio Mozambique (RM).<\/p>\n

According to the SERNIC spokesperson in Sofala province, Alfeu Sitoe, the individuals were found in possession of about three hundred grams of cannabis and an unspecified quantity of heroin, as well as money supposedly earned from the illegal sale of narcotics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police are working towards dismantling drug selling hotspots in the province\u201d, Sitoe said.<\/p>\n

The detained elderly woman confessed to the crime of drug trafficking. However, she claimed that the sale of illicit drugs has been her only source of income since she became a widow.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew it was a prohibited substance but it was the only thing that could give me money to support myself. I don\u2019t work, I don\u2019t have a child or a husband who can support me, so I agreed to receive these herbs from a boy who said he brought them from Gorongosa for me to sell. I am very sorry,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The others, all members of the same family, deny their involvement and claim to be unaware of the origin of the drugs which the police presented to reporters.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, SERNIC detained, in the central province of Zambe\u0301zia, a man who had escaped after abandoning 100 kilos of methamphetamine in Mocuba district, two years ago.<\/p>\n
