Police Act on Drug Party After Tip in Zimbabwe Town.
The police caught 22 young people at a drug party in Chegutu, Zimbabwe. This marks new steps in the fight against drugs in the area of Mashonaland West.
Police officer Effort Chapoto said they found the party through phone messages. A man named Tinashe Kamunda, age 23, had sent out party news on WhatsApp.
The party cost was not the same for everyone. Boys paid two dollars to come in, girls paid one dollar, and each person paid five more dollars for drinks.
Someone told the police about drugs at this party. The police went to the house right away. They found 15 boys and seven girls there.
The police looked around the house. They found bits of burned drugs, new birth control items, drinks, and tools for smoking a type of tobacco.
The police called all the parents of these young people. Kamunda had to pay money for bad acts in public. The other young people paid fines as well. Their parents came to take them home.
"We thank those who told us what was wrong," Chapoto said. He added that when people help the police, good things happen.
