HARARE – A 43-year-old soldier was busted with a large consignment of cannabis while travelling with a civilian in police uniform, police said.
Alison Maredza, who is reportedly attached to the Presidential Guard, was using his vehicle to transport the drugs from Beitbridge to Harare on February 14, 2026.
National police spokesman Commissioner Paul Nyathi said: “The ZRP has arrested a bogus policeman, Norest Jingura, 35, and a member of the security services, Alison Maredza, for drug peddling and trafficking along Harare-Beitbridge Road near Bubi.
“The suspects were travelling in a Toyota Hilux vehicle owned by Maredza with the bogus police officer in full police uniform, wearing assistant inspector rank badges.
“The national crack team intercepted the vehicle on its way to Harare and recovered 120 cobs of dagga. The ZRP is now conducting comprehensive investigations to establish how Norest Jingura obtained the police uniform.”
