THE Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) says an assortment of arms was on Tuesday discovered at the Domboshaba farm formerly owned by farmer Geofrey Kelly McKinnon (66). 
The farm was recently gazetted under the land reform programme and the High Court ordered McKinnon off last Friday.
The police have reportedly launched an investigation into the claimed presence of ammunition producing equipment, thousands of bullet heads and empty cartridges.
“Police only discovered four rifles at his house and there were no documents to support the farmer’s ammunition business,” according to a report in the State owned but Zanu PF controlled Herald newspaper.
“When the Herald arrived at the farm house yesterday, the messenger of court was in the process of taking outside, some of the property that McKinnon had left at the house.
“The ammunition making machine, which had some gun powder and the cartridges, were in one of the rooms in the house. Some of the cartridges were packed in small boxes, while others were scattered in the room.
“Several cartridges for AK 47 assault rifles and other unidentified rifles, were also in the room,” the paper claimed. The paper claims that one of McKinnon’s employees who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he was not aware that McKinnon was in the habit of manufacturing ammunition.
“I have been here for more than 20 years and he would not allow anyone especially us his employee to enter his house. This is my first time to enter this house,” said the employee. Police officers are now guarding the farm.
