While on patrol, police officers spotted the man exchanging money with another man outside a mall in the east.
A 38-year-old man was arrested after he was allegedly found in possession of R20 000 worth of drugs at a house in Silverton.
Silverton police spokesperson Warrant Officer Isaac Mculu said the incident took place a week ago when metro police were patrolling at the Silver Crossing mall.
“They noticed a man who was exchanging money with another man,” he said.
“The two officials engaged the suspect and he gave them permission to search him. They found drugs in his pocket.”
Mculu said the officers then searched his house where they found more drugs worth about R20 000.
They found different kinds of drugs such as mandrax, crystal meth and nyaope in the man’s bedroom.
“The suspect was arrested for possession of drugs and dealing in drugs,” said Mculu.
Silverton station commander Colonel Karel Swanepoel applauded the officers involved for their good work done.
