Rietfontein Road has been identified as a drug hot spot in Primrose by the Primrose police and as a result, officers often patrol the area.
During one of these patrols, the SAPS K9 Unit arrested a 34-year-old man for possession of drugs at the corner of Rietfontein and Violet roads.
“The man, who was acting suspiciously, was found with a white substance believed to be crystal methamphetamine and a syringe in his possession,” said Sgt Styles Maome, the communications officer for the Primrose police.

During processing, it was discovered through the use of a micro connectivity device, that the suspect is wanted by the Kempton Park, Benoni and Boksburg North Police Stations for various charges.
