The quiet of Solheim was disrupted at 3pm last Wednesday, when the Primrose police swooped on a unit at the Kennedy Flats, in Mercurius Road.
Three vehicles raced to the scene after the police received a call from radio control saying that an anonymous caller had said that a man was involved in drug deals at the flat.
“Upon arrival they found two women at the flat,” said Const Styles Maome, the communications officer for the Primrose SAPS.
“They asked the women where the man who was allegedly selling drugs was, and were told that he was sleeping.”
The police officers started searching the flat and also called the SAPS K9 Unit to come in and assist them.
During their search they discovered various types of drugs with a street value of about R15 000 hidden in socks and shoes in the wardrobe.
They also discovered about R207 200 in cash and a number of cellphones.
The police arrested the two women, as well as the man, and took them to the Primrose Police Station.
The women are aged 24 and 27, and the man is 27.
They are due to appear in the Germiston Magistrates Court soon.
“The management of the Primrose SAPS thanks the anonymous caller for giving us the information which led to the arrests,” said Maome.
“The police encourage the community to keep letting us know about crime and criminals in the area.”
