Pretoria West police had their hands full this week when they arrested three people for drug possession in the west of Pretoria.
The first arrest happened in Danville on Tuesday after police received a tip-off from the community about a suspicious vehicle known to be used for drug dealings, said police spokesperson Constable Sibongile Vuma.
“During the patrol, the said vehicle was spotted (by police) at N4 Toll road next to Danville during a stop-and-search operation,” said Vuma.
“Upon searching, police found small packets of drugs in the driver’s pocket. More drugs were found in the car, adding to a total of 750 snatches which amounts to the street value of R22 500.”
The drugs were seized and the suspect was immediately arrested and detained at Pretoria West police station.
