The EMPD recently arrested four men during an anti-drugs operation in Thembisa and Benoni areas.
This operation was done in conjunction with the Specialised Task Team, Tracing Unit, Anti-Land Invasion Unit, Northern Region Task Team and the Thembisa SAPS Tracing Unit Officers.
“Nyaope, rocks, crystal meth, cocaine and heroin were confiscated,” said EMPD spokesperson Kobeli Mokheseng.
The EMPD’s Tracing Unit Team patrolling Cranbourne Avenue stopped and searched a suspicious 39-year-old.
“Officers uncovered 10 knotted plastic packs of crystal meth and the suspect voluntarily led the way to his nearby flat where ziplocks, huge plastic packs of heroin and cocaine, valued at R300 000, were found,” Mokheseng said.
The suspect was arrested and taken to the Benoni Police Station.
“In the Thembisa area, three suspects cornered on Modderfontein Road were searched,” he explained.
“The joint operation uncovered 48 pieces of nyaope and 20 pieces of rocks valued at R4 600 with R10 400 cash. The trio were taken to Rabbie Ridge Police Station.”
All the detained suspects, facing charges of possession and possible dealing in illicit substance, are expected to appear in the Thembisa and Benoni Magistrate’s Court/s soon.
