ZRP Chegutu arrested 22 youths aged between 15 to 25 years for convening a party where drugs and substances were abused.
Circumstances are that Tinashe Kamunda (23) of House Number 30160 Rifle Range, Chegutu created some WhatsApp group links where he advertised a birthday concert.

Police received a tip-off that there was suspected drug abuse by youths at a party in Rifle Range. Reacting to the information, ZRP Chegutu raided the house and arrested 15 boys and 7 girls.
