A married couple who own a tavern in Eden Park, in Ekurhuleni, have been arrested for possession of the drug, CAT, Alberton Record reports.
EMPD spokesperson Wilfred Kgasago said: “The bust occurred at around 11am on June 8, and the seized narcotics are estimated at a street value of R11 000.”
The EMPD (Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality) Drug Enforcement Unit members swooped in on the tavern, and after a thorough search of the place, came across 136 zip-lock bags of CAT, as well as CAT in block form, presumably still to be processed and packaged.
