Two suspects were arrested when members found two wrapped bales of dagga with an estimated weight of 25kg.

Four suspects were arrested for drug-related offences in Kempton Park at Bosch Street as well as Maxwell and North Rand Roads and in Brakpan at Wenden Avenue. Crystal methamphetamine and mandrax were recovered in these separate incidents.

On October 11 at around 20:00, members operationalised information of a vehicle allegedly transporting dagga on the R23 towards Carnival City. The white Toyota Rush was pulled over at the corner of R23 and R550.

The 39-year-old driver was arrested when members found eight bags of dagga weighing approximately 40Kg in the vehicle.

The suspect was detained at Tsakane SAPS, the dagga was booked in as an exhibit, and the vehicle was impounded for use in the commission of a crime.

In further policing, members recovered an abandoned hijacked red Volkswagen Polo at Essellen Street, Daveyton, reported on a Lenasia case.

Investigation continues in all cases.

The suspects appeared and will appear in the local Magistrate’s Courts facing charges of possession of and dealing in drugs.
