“Upon arrival, we spoke to the pupils and our investigation showed that only two of them were in possession, the other three were not involved,” said Const Tsotsotso.
“According to the principal of the school, this was not the first time the boys have been found in possession of dagga on the school premises . They have been given warnings before and the matter reported to the boys’ parents. The principal decided to call the police this time,” said Const Tsotsotso.
She said the pupils were charged with possession of dagga and released in the care of their parents as they are both minors.
More investigations are expected to follow.
