A man from Mufakose, Harare, who was found in possession of a sachet of crystal meth weighing 9,5 grammes has appeared in court.

Keith Simbarashe Zimhindo (26) appeared before Harare magistrate Mrs Appolonia Marutya charged with unlawful possession of dangerous drugs.

He was remanded in custody pending his bail application.

Prosecutor Mr Thomas Chanakira alleged that on May 17 at around 6:30pm, detectives from CID Drugs and Narcotics Harare, received information that Zimhindo was in possession of dangerous drugs in Mufakose.

The seized crystal meth has a street value of the US$95.
