By A Correspondent- A 29-year-old Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officer has been arrested for possessing 143,95 kgs of loose dagga.

Berlin Dombodzvuku, a ZRP officer of Support Unit Zulu Troop, was last Thursday in Marondera arrested and charged with unlawful possession or use of dangerous drugs charges.

He appeared before Marondera magistrate Ms Rumbidzayi Munemo, yesterday who denied him bail and remanded him to July 26.

Dombodzvuku was arrested after police detectives received a tip-off that he was carrying the dangerous drug in a Toyota Sienta vehicle he was driving along the Harare-Mutare Highway.

He failed to stop at a mounted roadblock along the same road, prompting fellow officers to give chase.
