Avenues drug ring bust

The three Nigerian men were caught with street drugs to the value of R100 000.

Officers from the Edenvale SAPS crime prevention unit bust a suspected drug ring operating in the Avenues last night.

Three men were arrested when the house they were staying in was raided after information was passed to the Edenvale SAPS.

When officers entered the house they caught three men cutting and dividing khat into packets to be sold on the streets.

“The three Nigerian men were caught with street drugs to the value of R100 000,” said the acting spokesperson for the Edenvale SAPS, Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts.

He added that the men had already packaged several packets when officers arrived at the house.

The three men were arrested and taken to the Edenvale Police Station for processing. They are expected to appear in the Germiston Regional Court this morning.
