Copperbelt police commanding officer Martin Malama confirmed the incident yesterday in Kitwe.
He said two suspects have been arrested to help with investigations and identified them as Emmanuel Muzala and Justin Mweemba.
“A truck load of copper chrome suspected to have been smuggled from DRC was impounded by the anti-copper theft team in Chingola yesterday following a tip-off from members of the public as they were trying to take it to Kitwe.
“The partnership between the public and police is strong and wrongdoers have felt it. To distract us, they have developed schemes to insinuate that some senior police officers belong to particular political parties, which is unfair. We are professionals and nothing will stop us from fighting crime,” Dr Malama said.
