Arrested for selling illicit cigarettes
An anonymous tip-off sends the Flying Squad in the right direction.
Information from the public led a specialised team to find illicit cigarettes.
A 28-year-old suspect was arrested in June for the possession of these goods.
It is alleged that an anonymous tip-off was sent to a member of the Flying Squad about a man selling these cigarettes, which led to a successful arrest.
The Flying Squad found the suspect along with the cigarettes he allegedly sold to the public.
The suspect was arrested and detained at the Krugersdorp Police Station where a case was opened.
“The suspect is due to appear in the Krugersdorp Magistrates’ Court later this week,” Sergeant Tshepiso Mashale, spokesperson for the Krugersdorp Police said.
