Lothair Police arrested a 45-year-old male for dealing in marijuana when he was found in possession of the drug weighing in at 27 kg with a street value of about R50 000.
The police were conducting a stop-and-search operation on the road to Ermelo when they noticed a suspicious light motor vehicle which, when searched, yielded compressed marijuana.
The man is remanded in custody and will appear at the Lothair Periodical Court for a formal bail application on 20 July.
