Tanzanian national jailed 15 years for possessing meth

Bulawayo-A Tanzanian National, Sleiman Amour (44) has been jailed for 15 years in prison by the Bulawayo High Court for unlawful possession of methamphetamine.

On October 23, police officers manning a roadblock at the 18km peg along the Bulawayo-Plumtree Road stopped a South African-registered Man Truck heading to Plumtree.

Upon request, the Tanzanian driver failed to produce a temporary import permit, prompting the police to conduct a search of the vehicle.

The offender, who was a passenger in the vehicle, led the officers to the loading box where lunch boxes wrapped in foil were discovered among bags of beans.

The offender opened one of the boxes and began eating spaghetti.

A further search led to the discovery of more boxes containing methamphetamine, hidden in a specially designed compartment on the roof of the truck.

The driver and another passenger managed to flee the scene.

The offender was arrested, and the vehicle was seized and forfeited to the State.
