The Secunda Hawks swooped up a man on Friday, February 25, for dealing in drugs behind the Bethal Court mere months after he was released on bail for a similar charge.
The Hawks investigated information about drugs at a hair cut tent next to the mall in Jabulani Street.
The tent is situated at the back of the Bethal Court building.
The team conducted a disruptive operation on Friday morning and found the suspect in possession of rock cocaine and dagga worth R3 000.
The suspect, who is currently out on bail on the previous case, was re-arrested.
According to Capt Dineo Sekgotodi, spokespereon for the Hawks in Mpumalanga, members from the Secunda branch also arrested the same suspect in June last year for dealing in drugs.
That arrest was executed during a major investigation named operation Dream On, involving a criminal group that had been dealing and distributing drugs in Bethal area.
The suspect and 10 other drug dealers were caught during that clamp down operation.
He was granted bail by the District Court Magistrate at the time.
The suspect will appear in Bethal District Court on Monday, February 28 for his first appearance in the lastest case.
