Glencoe Police have weeded out 244 parcels of dagga, and more than 60 tablets of mandrax, in two separate drug busts this past week.
Three quick-acting officers, Constable Autar, Constable Mweli and Warrant Officer Mkhwanazi followed up on information pertaining to suspicious activity near the railway line in Glencoe.
Upon investigation, they discovered a suspicious looking lid near the railway line. After opening it, a drum with 244 packaged parcels of dagga was discovered.
‘Drug usage, especially dagga, is a growing problem in society, and this bust decreases the problem adequately,” Warrant Officer and Crime Prevention Commander, Ramgoolam, remarked.
In a separate drug bust, 42 half tablets, 24 quarters and full tablets of mandrax were confiscated from a home in Sithembile. Warrant Officer Bhagwandeen of the Glencoe Dog Unit followed up on information and successfully arrested one man.
Glencoe Station Commissioner, Lieutenant Colonel SP Masuku, commended the officers for a job well done. He also stated,’ the work these police officials have done is excellent, I hope the Cluster Commander and Provincial Commissioner will be pleased.”
