The drug was left in the custody of an Indian.
It is believed the unidentified woman, who is suspected to
be a drug trafficker, wanted the man, who is a foreigner, to transport the
cocaine to India, on her behalf.
Police spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi,
confirmed the incident saying investigations have revealed the man discovered
that the parcel contained cocaine and left the bag at the lodge, before
departing.
“The ZRP is investigating a case of suspected drug
trafficking in which an unknown Zimbabwean woman settled accommodation bills
for an Indian national at a local lodge in Harare,” he said.
“The woman then went back with a parcel, which she
instructed the man to travel with back to India.
“The man discovered that the parcel contained cocaine and
left the bag at the lodge before leaving for India.
“A report was made to the police leading to the recovery of
695 grammes of cocaine with a street value of $6 505 200.”
