In numerous statements on Twitter, ZRP said on January 20, through their ‘No to cross border crimes’, had intercepted a truck carrying a passenger in possession of dagga.

“Members of the Police deployed on operation, ‘No to cross border crimes’, arrested Zenzo Mangena (38) at Bubi road block, along Beitbridge Masvingo Road, for illegal possession of dagga.

“The dagga was packed in three plastic bags which were stashed in a UD 90 truck in which the suspect was travelling in. The weight and value of dagga is yet to be ascertained,” read the ZRP statement on Twitter.
