Police in Zimbabwe have arrested five men after they were allegedly found transporting 360kg of dagga in a Toyota Hilux Single Cab bearing a Gauteng registration plate (DN08VG-GP).
According to reports, the suspects were allegedly transporting the consignment from South Africa when they were intercepted by Zimbabwean authorities.
The five suspects have been identified as:
- Gordon Nkowu (58)
- Nkosiyabo Moyo (57)
- Shepherd Nkomo (43)
- Beven Sibanda (40)
- Isaiah Moyo (31)
Authorities allege that the vehicle was loaded with approximately 360 kilograms of dagga, with investigations now underway to determine the origin of the drugs and whether the suspects are linked to a larger cross-border trafficking network.
The arrests highlight ongoing efforts by law enforcement agencies in the region to combat drug smuggling and organised crime along Southern Africa’s border routes.
