The sale of drugs contributes for a large part to high crime levels due to their use constituting a generator of violent crime. In support of the SAPS’s strategy to reduce crime in our communities, a joint operation by the Cape Town Cluster Task Team and the Woodstock police led to the arrest of a 33-year-old male and a 69-year-old female after they had sold drugs to two undercover police officers.
As the deal was concluded, the officers swooped in on the premises and confiscated Mandrax tablets. A full search of the house led to the discovery of various electronic items and jewellery which was also confiscated as a clear answer could not be given as to where and how any of the items had been obtained. The premises are also known for the illegal sale of alcohol and five crates of beer were confiscated. An undisclosed amount of cash was also seized as it is believed to be the proceeds of the illegal trading in drugs.
