A man was arrested after police found drugs and ammunition in his house.
According to the Soweto Tactical Response Team’s Constable Mothusi Mohlari, on 5 March they received a tip-off that there was suspicious activity going on at a Westbury house.
“We proceeded to the suspect’s house and asked him if we could search his house, when we did we found 501 pills with a C symbol on them, 27 rounds of live ammunition, and a black 38 special firearm as well as an empty magazine,” Mohlari confirmed.
The pills are suspected to be ecstasy and are allegedly sold for R100, with half a pill going for R50.
The station’s Warrant Office Jarbis de Bruyn said this was not an ordinary case for them.
“We usually confiscate 10, maybe 20 pills – there has never been a case with as large a number as this,” he said.
The suspect was arrested and a case was opened at Sophiatown Police Station.
