Suspected drug dealers to appear in court

The police seized over 10 packets of crystal meth.

Five suspects will appear in the Pretoria North magistrate’s court on Monday, May 6 on charges of possession and dealing in drugs.

Spokesperson Warrant-Officer Johan Van Dyk said all were arrested during a stop and search operation in Pretoria North on Friday, May 3 following a tip-off about suspicious activities at a Burger Street residence.

“Upon identifying the house, the suspect was approached and searched, in the process over 10 packets of crystal myth were seized,” said Van Dyk.

He said shortly thereafter, police received further information about activity on the corner of West and Veldkornet Roos streets.

“Four suspects were arrested there for possession of dagga and crystal meth with an estimated street value of over R5 000.

Police will stop at nothing to ensure that drugs are removed from the communities and apprehend those found on the wrong side of the law,” he said.
