Police have arrested three suspects, recovered a possible murder weapon and the getaway car reportedly used by members of a gang that killed a police officer two weeks ago at Good Hope Mine in Battlefields.
A machete allegedly used during the assault and an unregistered Honda Fit used as a gateway car were recovered following the arrest of Lyton Panashe Tshuma (18), Obvious Mawire (21) and Munyaradzi Chari (43).
This comes as police on Tuesday rounded up 100 illegal gold panners and vendors in separate raids at Good Hope Mine and Jumbo Mine in Mazowe, both epicentres of recent serious violence.
Support Unit, District Reaction Groups (DRG) and the Canine Section were part of police teams used in the raids.
Of the 100 arrested, 28 were netted at Good Hope Mine, while 72 were picked up at Jumbo Mine.
Police also impounded three vehicles that were loaded with gold ore.
