Police arrest another firearms smuggler

A CHINHOYI man was last week arraigned before Chiredzi magistrate Joy Chikodzenge over allegations of dealing in firearms without registration as defined by section 14 of the Firearms Act Chapter 10:9.

Edward Manuwere (28) of Ruvimbo Phase 2 in Chinhoyi was part of a four-member illegal firearm syndicate that included Sango Border Post principal immigration officer Wilbert Tafara Muneri (36) and Kennedy Ainos Mutanhaurwa (31), who is a second-hand clothes dealer.

The quartet is facing charges of smuggling six high-calibre rifles out of the country.
