On November 17, 2024, police in Harare executed an operation that culminated in the arrest of two men, Vincent Tsoka, aged 32, and Cuthbert Tazvitya, 33, for their involvement in the unlawful possession of a firearm.
Officers discovered an Astra-Uncetay cia S.A Guemion pistol with an empty magazine in a parked Toyota Corolla, registration number AAA 6773, where Tsoka was found.
During the arrest, Tsoka was also in possession of a significant amount of cash totaling USD 1,692.00, raising suspicions about the source and legality of the funds.
Investigators pursued leads based on Tsoka’s statements, which ultimately implicated Tazvitya, prompting authorities to locate him at a residential property in Budiriro 2.
The operation appears to be a part of broader efforts by local law enforcement to combat illegal firearm possession and associated criminal activities.
Both suspects now face serious charges that could lead to substantial legal consequences if convicted.
The presence of the firearm and the substantial cash found with Tsoka could indicate deeper criminal involvement or potential links to organized crime.
Police have since encouraged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity, emphasizing the importance of community cooperation in maintaining public safety.
As the investigation unfolds, authorities will likely examine the suspects’ backgrounds and potential connections to other illicit activities in the region.
