THE Westville SAPS station commander, Colonel Sharon Zamantungwa Sihlangu, has applauded her officers for their continuous efforts of removing drugs from the local streets.

This after the station’s crime prevention team on Friday, February 27, swiftly arrested a suspect who was allegedly in possession of cocaine.

The station’s communications officer, Sergeant Zwelethu Khathi, said the suspect, a 28-year-old man, was arrested at around 23:15 in the parking lot of a local bar in the Westville CBD.
