In a recent crackdown on dr_g-related offenses, authorities have taken significant action against individuals involved in the unlawful possession of unregistered medicines and substances in Harare.
Fayness Moreblessing John, a 29-year-old from Glenview, was apprehended for possessing unregistered medicines and subsequently convicted, receiving a fine of USD 200.
Meanwhile, Antony Mwedziwendira, hailing from Milton Park, faced a more severe penalty for similar offenses, as he was sentenced to 10 months in prison for his first count, in addition to fines of USD 100 for both second and third counts.
Chamunorwa Siyamanyiwa, aged 34 and residing in Dzivarasekwa, was convicted for the unlawful possession of dagga and sentenced to two months behind bars.
These convictions illustrate the Zimbabwe Republic Police’s unwavering commitment to combat dr_g and substance ab_se in the country.
The police are firmly focused on eradicating the distribution of narcotics and unregulated medications, underscoring the message that there will be no retreat in this fight.
Through the National Committee on the Elimination of Dr_gs and Substance Ab_se, the authorities are expected to continue their rigorous efforts to identify and prosecute dr_g barons and suppliers operating within Zimbabwe’s borders.
The public has been called upon to assist in this mission by reporting any information they may have regarding dr_g-related activities or suspects.
The National Complaints Desk has been made available for public use, offering a direct line of communication via telephone number (0242) 703631, as well as a WhatsApp number, 0712 800 197, for more convenient reporting.
This move is part of a broader strategy to foster community involvement in the fight against substance ab_se.
The police are keen on increasing public awareness about the dangers of drug misuse and the impact it has on society.
They aim to create a safer environment by actively seeking out those who perpetuate dr_g-related crimes, thereby sending a strong message of deterrence.
As these recent cases show, the consequences of involvement in drug offenses can be severe, and offenders will face legal repercussions.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police’s ongoing initiatives will strive to dismantle drug networks and ensure that the safety and well-being of citizens remain a top priority.
