Drugs worth over R4.2m were confiscated in what Acting Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo Major General Jan Scheepers has dubbed a ‘significant success’.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo says police followed up on information regarding drug dealers at Thornhill Village and on arrival found a 24-year-old woman.
“When searching the house, heroine and crystal meth worth R4.2m were found. A foreign national, believed to be the woman’s boyfriend, allegedly fled the scene after realising the police were approaching the premises,” he said.
Police then proceeded to the next identified house where a 50-year-old man was arrested and R400 000 worth of drugs were found.
“The suspect’s motor vehicle was also seized,” Mojapelo added.
