This follows the arrest of a Nigerian man for possession of R2-m worth of drugs in recent weeks.
“On Tuesday, April 26, a block of flats in Boksburg North was staked out for a couple of hours by EMPD Drug Enforcement Unit members following receipt of information about a suspected drug-dealer,” said EMPD spokesperson Lieut-Col Wilfred Kgasago.
Kgasago said a man fitting the description appeared at around 11am, after the block of flats had been observed for about three hours.
“He was found in possession of drugs and was arrested.”
Kgasago added that the drugs were confiscated.
“A total of 38 ziplock bags of cat, worth R3 000 on the streets, were found on the said person,” said Kgasago.
The 30-year-old man was taken to the Boksburg North Police Station and charged with possession and suspected dealing in illicit substances.
He is expected to appear in the Boksburg Magistrates Court soon.
