The ZRP has warned bus operators to desist from smuggling activities at the country’s port of entry.
The Police National Spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi,said the smuggling activities were threatening the gains made in curbing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We warn bus operators and crew against smuggling and also raising unsubstantiated allegations in order to get sympathy from the public.
Bus operators are now posing a security risk with border jumpers, whom they are carrying into the country and with no COVID-19 protocols being followed at all.
This militates against government’s quest to fight the pandemic,” he said.
Several buses have been impounded at the Beitbridge border post in connection with smuggling at the country’s busiest port of entry.
There have been reports that security officials manning the border are aiding the smuggling activities and the Zimbabwe Republic Police spokesman Ass Comm Nyathi said that action will be taken against those corrupt officials.
“The police will ensure that the law takes its course without fear or favour. ZRP and other security services will ensure that action is taken on any security service members involved in
corruption,”he added
