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.
