Task team busts drug dealers
Two men were arrested for being in possession of ecstacy and CAT.
MEMBERS of the Durban Flying Squad Narcotics team recovered narcotics and arrested two suspects aged 30 and 34 years old in the Durban Central Business District for dealing in drugs on Monday, 10 March.
Police were observing a suspected drug dealer who was making his way to the Point area. While they were following him they noticed a white VW Polo which was parked on the side of the road. The vigilant members recognised one of the occupants in the Polo as a suspected drug dealer. They immediately stopped their vehicle and searched the two occupants. They found a small amount of ecstasy tablets in their possession.
The policemen proceeded to John Ross House where the suspects lived and after searching their home they found 10 packets of ecstasy tablets and two packets of CAT valued at approximately R600 000. The suspects were charged with dealing in narcotics and will appear in the Durban Magistrate Court on Tuesday, 11 March.
The KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner Lt Gen Mmamonnye Ngobeni congratulated the Narcotics Task Teams for their continued efforts in eradicating drug dealers within the Province. “We are very pleased that our members have not loosened their grip on drug dealers. Drug dealers must know their days are numbered,” she said.
