The suspects, comprising of two Kenyans and four Somalis, were not asked to plead when they appeared before magistrate Tinashe Tashaya, who remanded them in custody to July 10.

The court heard that on June 5 this year, detectives from the Minerals and Border Control Unit in Bulawayo received information to the effect that the suspects were travelling from Victoria Falls to Bulawayo en route to South Africa via Beitbridge Border Post without valid travel documents.

Police set up a trap and arrested them as they alighted from a bus at Windermere Hotel along the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls Road.

The suspects were then arrested after they failed to produce their travel documents.
