A 40-year-old Tanzanian man detained last week in Mecula district, Niassa province, stands accused of possessing prohibited weapons and unauthorised hunting. The man, A. Mairose, was found in possession of an AK-47-type 3581 firearm, 40 rounds of ammunition, three bicycles, two mobile phones and four pans, the police said.
According to the press release sent to ‘Carta de Moçambique’, the poacher was at the time accompanied by seven other Tanzanians, currently at large.
