A United States of America embassy official reportedly smuggled four guns into the country in 2016. According to The Herald, John Kent, a US Embassy Attaché responsible for Overseas Building Operations brought four rifles into the country.

The rifles have been identified as two Bolt Action rifles — a Savage 111 and Remington 700 — and two semi-automatic shotguns — a Beretta A390 and Weatherby SA-08 in 2016.

Kent only declared the weapons in February this year about a month before he left the country, and they were not registered or licensed. The Herald claims to have in its possession a document that reads:

> Kent flagrantly violated the law by not declaring his firearms to Zimra (Zimbabwe Revenue Authority) on his entry into the country in 2016.

> The firearms were apparently treated as part of the diplomatic luggage, was unlawful since firearms are among exceptions to this, under the Vienna Conventions.

> Kent stayed three years in the country, in possession of unlicensed firearms which is also a violation of the law. There is no guarantee that the firearms were not used for any outward or unlawful activities during that period.

> The US Embassy through the note verbale misrepresented facts by indicating that Kent is intending to import firearms.
