Pupils busted with dagga weeds

Six high school pupils were busted with a schoolbag full of freshly harvested dagga weeds.

Six high school pupils did not think they would be caught after harvesting dagga weeds.

While patrolling in Herbert Street this morning, a Sector 5 Community Policing Forum (CPF) member spotted a group of pupils, five boys and a girl, in a storm water spruit looking suspiciously distracted.

After calling for back up, the CPF patrollers stopped and searched the pupils and made a shocking discovery.

The pupils, who are believed to be pupils of HTS Nic Diederichs, were taken into custody and escorted to the Krugersdorp police station where the bag of dagga was handed in.

Two of the six boys were still in school uniform at the time of the bust.

The school was informed of the incident and the six youngsters were let off the hook with a warning and taken back to the school by the members of the CPF.
