Three men appeared in the Hatfield magistrate’s court on Monday, after they were arrested in possession of drugs worth R12 500 during an operation in Menlyn on Friday.
Spokesperson Sergeant Webster Scheepers said Brooklyn police were posted to do a follow up on information received by concerned public members regarding drug-related crimes and common robberies in Menlyn and surrounding areas.
“SAPS officers did observations and as a result three arrests were made for dealing and the possession of drugs,” he said.
“The three suspects aged 31, 38 and 41 were detained at Brooklyn SAPS for further investigation.”
Scheepers said joint stop-and-search operations and roadblocks later the evening, resulted in the arrest of four motorists who were driving under the influence of alcohol.
“Compliance inspections were conducted at liquor premises. This high police visibility further contributed to prevent crime during the weekend,” he said.
Brooklyn police station commander Brigadier Kushie Pietersen applauded the arrests and thanked everyone involved.
