The Zimbabwe Republic Police has, in separate incidents, arrested two men for producing firearms in bars.
Elton Ncube was arrested in Esigodini after producing an unregistered firearm.
“Police in Esigodini arrested Elton Ncube for possessing an unregistered firearm. The suspect had a misunderstanding with other patrons in a bottle-store at Gabeni Village and produced a Barreda C4 Signal pistol.
“Police recovered the pistol loaded with a magazine of seven rounds,” ZRP said in a statement.
Trust Kagweda, 36, was also arrested after he produced a firearm in Kuwadzana.
“In a related case, ZRP Kuwadzana arrested Trust Kagweda (36) after he produced a firearm at a nightclub in Kuwadzana Harare. A 213.9mm Noringo pistol was recovered from the suspect,” added the ZRP.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa in August declared an amnesty on all illegal firearm holders to voluntarily surrender them to their nearest police stations with no questions asked.
The amnesty followed a spike in armed robberies and other offences involving the use of firearms throughout the country.
The programme saw 538 firearms and 260 rounds of ammunition being voluntarily surrendered to police.
