Two Zimbabwean brothers, both illegal immigrants aged 30 and 19 respectively have found themselves on the wrong side of the law after being found in possession of about 35 kg dagga, unaccounted for P21000 and 25, 100 ml of brown clear cough syrup on Friday 12, 2024.
Confirming the incident, Maun Station Commander Dennis Zilawe revealed that the dagga has since been taken to the forensic lab for testing.
“Some of the suspected Dagga was found in their possession, some from their house and some from their vehicle. We have sent it to the lab for analysis,” revealed Zilawe.
According to Zilawe the police are yet to investigate the source of the cough syrup as it is usually taken as a doctor’s prescription.
“Cough syrup contains a high amount of alcohol and people tend to use it to drug themselves. The medicine is taken as prescription so we are still investigating where they got it in such large quantities,” noted Zilawe.
The following day , still on drug busting mission Zilawe has confirmed the arrest of a 28- year-old Maun Man who was found in possession of 9 sachets suspected to be methcathinone popularly known as CAT
