Two Harare men have been arrested after they were found in possession of two unlicensed machine guns hidden underground at a house in Mt Hampden.
The law prohibits civilians from owning automatic weapons or machines guns.
Simbarashe Chinopopota (19) of Beta Bricks compound, Mt Hampden, and Progress Simbarashe Musarurwa (25) of plot 125, Donfontein, Nyabira, were allegedly seen by neighbours carrying a sack containing the prohibited firearms.
The pair appeared before magistrate Mr Milton Serima yesterday. They are facing charges of possessing dangerous weapons.
Mr Serima deferred the matter to today.
The State alleges that on December 16, the pair was found in possession of two machines guns serial numbers MB 1146 and MB 1224.
