ZIMRA K9 UNIT INTERCEPTS SEVEN PISTOLS AND AMMUNITION AT BEITBRIDGE
The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has intercepted seven pistols and 170 rounds of 9mm blank ammunition concealed aboard a Bulawayo-bound bus at Beitbridge Border Post, in a development highlighting the critical role of border surveillance in combating illicit cross-border activities.
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.
