NORTH WEST – Our efforts in the fight against drug peddling paid off when the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Covid-19 Team consisting of Police Officers, South African National Defence Force (SANDF) members and Provincial Traffic Officers arrested on Tuesday, 25 August 2020, a male suspect, aged 34, for dealing in drugs (dagga).
The suspect was arrested at about 11:00 at a roadblock held on the R30 road between Klerksdorp and Orkney at the Uraniaville turn-off. Members were doing routine stop and searches when a white Toyota Camry with Lesotho registration number plates was pulled over. Upon searching the vehicle, bags of dagga with an estimated street value of R2.2 million were found in the boot, the back seat and the spare wheel compartment.
