While Searching they found Drugs in Possession of the shop owner and others hidden inside the shop. A suspect was arrested and the drugs were seized.
The team proceeded to Basson Street where they met 40-year-old African male who was found in possession of Drugs such as Chrystal meth.
Following information members went to Bloemside and arrested 36-year-old male for dealing in drugs after drugs such as Mandrax and Chrystal meth were found at his house. They again proceeded to a house in Heidedal where 22-year-old male was arrested after he was also found with a drug called crystal meth and an undisclosed amount of cash.
