Linden Police Stations officers arrested two occupants of a vehicle on 29 March after finding a large amount of ephedrine hcl crystal in their vehicle.
Spokesperson of the station, Constable Takalani Matumba shared details of the incidents, “The police were doing their normal patrols on the corner of Republic Road and Rabie Street in Fontainebleau when they spotted a silver VW Polo with two males inside.
