Four suspects were arrested and charged with various drug-related offences following a multi-disciplinary operation in Osizweni between December 2 and December 4.
The first arrest was made in Section A when police descended on a house after following up on information.
A 39-year-old suspect was arrested for being in possession of 17 parcels of Whoonga worth around R850.
The second arrest also took place in Section A where a 40-year-old suspect was arrested for being in possession of 27 parcels of Whoonga with an estimated street value of around R1 300.
Shortly afterward, a 34-year-old suspect was arrested after he was found in possession of five full, two-quarter and one-half Mandrax tablets.
The estimated street value of the drugs was believed to be around R650.
The operation then moved to Blaauwbosch where a 24-year-old was apprehended for having nine small parcels of Whoonga worth around R450.
All four suspects have since made an appearance in the Madadeni Magistrate’s Court.
Police investigations are continuing.
