The interception was made in the early hours of Friday, November 6, 2026, at approximately 03:00 hours during a routine canine search at the northbound bus terminal.

The bus, which was travelling from South Africa to Zimbabwe, came under scrutiny when a ZIMRA detector dog, Poncho, alerted officers to suspicious parcels concealed beneath the first row of passenger seats, immediately behind the driver’s seat.
