Thousands of dagga plants destroyed
Police officers and security personnel loaded quad bikes and horses with dagga plants.
Various security companies working with the Muldersdrift Police discovered and uprooted nearly 3 000 dagga plants in an informal settlement this week.
The private team, which consisted of officers from Conserv Security, Drift Reaction, Security and Manpower Solutions (SMS) and Interactive Security, supported the police. Without their help the process would have taken much longer.

The Muldersdrift Community Policing Forum also sent manpower to help with the initiative.

“Credit must go to the Provincial Police’s top management who made this all possible, and a big thank you to Colonel Swart and Colonel Kruger from the West Rand Cluster, and the Mounted Unit,” said Trevor Roberts from Conserv.
Rural Safety were also on the ground making a difference.

Empangeni Lodge hosted six policemen and women, and stabled six horses, while another person hosted six more police personnel.
The plants were taken to the Muldersdrift Police station where they will be destroyed.
