“The EMPD Drug Enforcement Unit received information about a house in Actonville that is frequented by dodgy individuals at all hours of the day,” said EMPD spokesperson Lieut-Col Wilfred Kgasago.
“The community suspicions were that the house was involved in some criminality.”
Kgasago said authorities monitored the house and the movements of the owner for a couple of days, after which the metro police raided the house at 7pm on June 11.
The EMPD found 47 bags of the drug CAT.
The 28-year-old home owner was arrested and charged with possession and dealing in illicit substances at the Actonville Police Station.
He is expected to appear in the Benoni Magistrate’s Court on June 13.
