A 24-year-old Tawanda Kakora of Mt Darwin was arrested on Saturday for selling a live pangolin.
Kakora was keeping the pangolin at his house while looking for a buyer.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirmed the case on their X wall.
“On 30/09/23, the detectives in Mount Darwin acted on received information and arrested Tawanda Kakora, 24, in connection with a case of possession of a live Pangolin. The suspect was keeping the pangolin at his house while looking for a potential buyer.”
The police detectives pretended to be buyers and proceeded to St Albert’s area where they recovered a live pangolin valued at US$5 000.
Cases of arrests over the possession of live pangolin are rising in the country.
Last year in June, a 48-year-old teacher at Razi Primary School in Chivi, Raymond Chavizha, was arrested after being found with a live pangolin.
In the same month last year, Kwale police arrested two men who were illegally in possession of a pangolin.
