A MARRIED couple who own a tavern in Eden Park have been arrested for possession of the drug, CAT.
The bust occurred at around 11am on June 8 and the seized narcotics are estimated at a street value of R11 000.
The EMPD (Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality) Drug Enforcement Unit members swooped in on the tavern and after a thorough search of the place, came across 136 zip-lock bags of CAT, as well as CAT in block form, presumably still to be processed and packaged.
Cash amounting to R7 267.40 – suspected to be proceeds from trading in illicit substances – was also confiscated.
The arrested couple, in their mid-forties, were detained and charged with possession and dealing in illicit substances at Eden Park police station. They are expected to appear in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court soon.
