VIDEO: Addict spikes heroin on camera

Video material taken from security cameras tells a tragic story, of how a heroin addict, sleeping on the street, wakes up, prepares his fix and injects himself. 

JP (Michael) Maritz woke up at around 06:00 on Friday 12 January next to Groenfontein Dairy in Kanonkop.

He can be seen scratching his legs before starting to prepare his fix.

On the video you can see how he extracts blood into a syringe to mix with the heroin before injecting it into his arm.

It is clear that his first fix did not do the trick as he almost immediately starts preparing a second hit.
