“The men were arrested after police noticed a group of people standing in a structure in the informal settlement,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“They approached the group, introduced themselves as police officers and asked to search them.
“During the search police found two small plastic packets containing a substance believed to be nyaope in each of the men’s possession.
“When asked what the substance was the men allegedly confirmed it was drugs.”
