Two young British women face drug charges today at Harare court. Tihaise Darlin Elisha and Taylor Tamara Simone came from Birmingham. Police caught them with 129 packets of cannabis stuffed inside four suitcases. The drugs could sell for $669,000 on the street. Magistrate Donald Ndirowei scheduled their trial to begin.

Police received a tip about drug smuggling at the airport last month. Detectives waited at Terminal 2 for the Ethiopian Airways flight. The women collected their luggage from the baggage carousel. Officers called them over for a search. Police found 66.9 kilograms of cannabis hidden inside their bags.

The arrest happened on May 1 around 1pm at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport. Both women are teenagers from the same British city. Elisha turns 18 and Simone recently turned 20. Drug trafficking charges carry serious penalties under Zimbabwean law. Prosecutor Sheila Mupindu represents the government against the accused women.
