Police have arrested four people in separate operations targeting cross-border vehicle smuggling in Beitbridge and Plumtree.

In a statement, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) said members of the Support Unit deployed in Beitbridge under Operation “No to Cross Border Crimes” arrested Korombi Muleya, 29, and Elelwanni Mbedzi, 36, on 18 October for allegedly smuggling a white Isuzu single-cab motor vehicle, registration number AED 4564.
