NEWCASTLE KZN: Mid-week police operation nets two arrests
Two drug dealers are now behind bars, thanks to the Osizweni Crime Prevention Unit.
During a two-day intelligence operation this week, focusing on drug related crimes in the Dannhauser and Osizweni policing areas, officials clamped down on suspects. Â
“On Wednesday morning, police proceeded to a homestead at Clere Farm in Dannhauser, where they arrested one suspect for dealing in dagga,” said Lizzy Arumugam of Newcastle SAPS Corporate Communications.
Police confiscated a total of 22 plastic bags containing 0.069 kilograms of dry lose dagga. A second bag was also recovered containing 0.063 kg of dagga. Â
“Members then went to the Inverness Area in Osizweni on Thursday, where they attained another successful drug-related arrest.”
Arumugam said the suspect was arrested after police found 24 parcels containing 0.058 kg of dry lose dagga. Â
The confiscated dagga was valued at approximately R2 000. Â Both suspects, aged 18 and 23, have since appeared in the Madadeni Magistrate’s Court on charges of dealing in dagga.
