Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A police officer stationed at ZRP Gutu was arrested last Thursday on charges of unlawful possession of dangerous drugs.<\/p>\n

Constable Brian Dube (27) was caught while transporting 50kg of marijuana in a Honda Fit vehicle from Chipinge to Chiredzi.<\/p>\n

According to a leaked police memo, on 4 August 2021 at around 0300 hours, sergeants Gwara, Mbiri, constables Runesu, Makuyana, Binde and Mawire police officers from ZRP Ndali were manning a police roadblock along the Ngundu \u2013Tanganda road.<\/p>\n

The police officers on duty stopped the Honda Fit which had two male occupants with Dube driving.<\/p>\n

Runesu stopped the driver and handed over the vehicle to Gwara for searches. The memo read in part:<\/p>\n

Upon searching the accused identified himself as a police officer by producing his police identity card alleging that he is stationed at ZRP Beitbridge. After the search, Sgt Gwara permitted the driver to proceed.<\/p>\n

Sgt Gwara became suspicious that the motor vehicle could have carried dagga after sensing a strong smell of dagga during the searching process and he assigned Cst Runesu, Cst Mawire, and Cst Binde to follow the accused person`s vehicle using a well-wisher vehicle.<\/p>\n

The police officers found Dube\u2019s vehicle parked by the roadside about three kilometres away from the roadblock. Read the memo:<\/p>\n

As they drew closer they saw the occupants fleeing from the vehicle and the police searched the vehicle and found a 50kg sack containing loose dagga inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was impounded and taken to ZRP Ndali and the matter was referred to Criminal Investigations Department Chiredzi.<\/p>\n

The following day, the 5th of August 2021, Dube surrendered himself at CID Chiredzi in the company his lawyer Munyaradzi Vengesai of Mugiya and Muvhami law chambers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
