When they arrived at the taxi rank, the taxi operators had stopped two unmarked police vehicles from leaving the rank.
They accused the police officers of distributing drugs at that taxi rank. The two vehicles are allocated to District Sedibeng’s Visible Policing task team.
The police searched the vehicles and found a container with of mandrax, crystal meth, dagga and 62 packets of nyaope as well as different registration numbers.
Six members, a sergeant and five constables, were immediately placed under arrest.
They will be charged with dealing in dagga and possession of drugs. They will be appearing in court soon.
