Five men, aged between 28 and 40, were recently arrested by the Primrose police for the possession of drugs.
The arrests were made during a stop-and-search operation that saw officers from the Primrose Police Station visiting the Makause, Marathon and Delport informal settlements.
“During the operation, five suspects were found with drugs in their possession,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
They were arrested and taken to the Primrose Police Station where they each paid an admission of guilt fine and were released with a warning.
“We are still facing challenges with substance abuse in our precinct and to combat this we will continue to hold similar operations aimed at cracking down on the problem,” said Maome.
“We believe that crimes such as domestic violence, murder, child neglect and assaults are linked to the on-going substance abuse in the area.”
