The Zimbabwe Republic Police in Marlborough acted on a tip-off and arrested Norman Chingonzo (30), Tichaona Banda (31), and Kudzai Gumbo (24) for possessing a firearm without a license in Mt Hampden.

One of the suspects had left the black pellet gun at a tuckshop as collateral after borrowing four bottles of soft drinks.

Police have since recovered the firearm.
