Dagga cops busted

48.15 KG'S of marijuana found on a sergeant and three constables of Nhlanhleni SAPS.

A sergeant and three constables of Nhlanhleni (Pomeroy) SAPS were found in possession of 48,15kg marijuana on the night of April 14.
Dundee police were alerted by members of the community about a police van transporting dagga from Nhlanhleni, heading to Dundee. Warrant Officer Beharie and Constable Dumakude waited for the van near the Dundee/Helpmekaar road.
When the van approached they followed and stopped it. They then searched the van and found the marijuana. The suspects were taken to the Dundee police station. It was later discovered that the sergeant was supposedly on leave at the time of the incident. It is understood that the police had earlier confiscated the dagga from a woman in the Pomeroy area. However, instead of booking it in with the police they allegedly drove to Dundee with the intention of selling the dagga.
The four police members appeared in the Dundee Magistrates’ Court on Monday, April 14, and their case was remanded to April 24. The suspects remain in custody while police continue with the investigation.

  3. This case should be handled from a different angle than normal man on street scenario. These individuals took a “public oath of office” to be able to operate as police officers (Public servants) in our country. We need an example made here. Regardless how I feel about the the unfair enforcement of prohibition laws. But they first and foremost broke there agreement with the public and therefore should stand trial on charges of treason.
    There is a very lax attitude in all wings of government and other public offices that no one are accountable to there respective oaths of office. Somewhere this has to come right or we have to do house keeping and place government under and slave to the constitution. Free up the law system which only carters for either the supper rich or corporations at this particular time in our disgraceful free for all democracy.

    Weed is not like drinking alcohol
