168 illegal diamond panners have been arrested in Chiadzwa for trespassing under "Operation Hakudzokwi".
This follows Government's move to comply with a court order for Mbada Diamonds (Pvt) Limited security team to return to the diamond mining site to secure its gems and equipment.
Since moving back, Mbada Diamond’s security personnel have partnered law enforcement agents in flushing out the illegal panners who are flocking to the vast diamond fields in their hundreds.
Officer-in-charge Marange Police Station Inspector Ruzungunde said the illegal panners were nabbed on Sunday for trespassing into the fields.
Those arrested were either found right in the fields or at shopping centres that are located in the protected zone.
The suspects were cleared after paying fines, while some were taken to the courts.
Details manning the fields revealed that the illegal panners retire to their bases at daybreak and invade the fields during the night.
