A 38-year-old suspect is expected to appear in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Friday after the Serious Organised Crime investigation team intercepted his speeding vehicle at the street corners of Rivonia Road and Kelvin Drive, Sandton on Thursday, 10 November 2022.
Members were on a different observation assignment when they spotted a white Hyundai sedan driving at a high speed. The vehicle was stopped and searched. Two lunchbox containers suspiciously wrapped with tape were found in a back pack that was concealed under the front seat.
A further inspection of the contents revealed powder like substance that was established to be Crystal Meth.
The seized narcotics, weighing about 2kg, are valued at approximately R700 000. Consequently the Tanzanian national who lives at a nearby complex along Delaray Street was arrested and charged for drug dealing.
