R300 000 drug bust, suspect arrested

The continuous eradication and clamping down on illegal drug trafficking in the Mount Road Cluster is attributed to police visibility and good informer networks.

On 19 July 2017 a 28 year old male was arrested at a house in Lorraine with drugs (cocaine, crack cocaine and khat) with an estimated street value of R300 000.

At about 13:00, members from PE K9, Flying squad and the Operational Command Center executed a search warrant at the house and the drugs were found in a vehicle parked on the premises.

Large amount of cash was also found in the house. The suspect will appear in court on 20 July 2017 on a charge of dealing in drugs.
