Upper Tugela Borderline Control police and Ladysmith Crime Intelligence (CIG) conducted the joint crime prevention operation in the Emmaus area of Bergville.
During the operation, they arrested 2 women, aged 25 and 80, for possession of dagga. The suspects were detained and charged for possession of dagga, and are set to appear in the Bergville Magistrate’s Court today.
