The community played its part by providing Saps with vital info, enabling them to make an arrest.
The community of Margate is thanked for reporting criminals and drug activities.

They searched a residence in Lionel Avenue, Margate Extension 3 (on July 15) and found a number of small plastics containing crystal meth, one block suspected to be rock cocaine and mandrax powder.
