LIMPOPO – A 32-year-old man was arrested at a house in the Tzaneen CBD, thanks to an intelligence-driven joint operation which comprised members of the Tzaneen Crime Intelligence Unit and cluster detectives.
The arrest was made at around 11:20 on 28 April after the man was found in possession of illicit cigarettes and sexual performance enhancing pills.
According to a statement by Police Spokesperson, Brig Motlafela Mojapelo, information was received which led them to a house in the CBD.
“After a search was conducted at the house, 84 boxes containing illicit cigarettes, 1 319 sexual performance enhancing pills and cash of more than R60 000 were recovered. Furthermore, a Ford Ranger, Audi, Chrysler and Hyundai Elantra were confiscated. All the recovered goods are worth over R 1,5 million,” the statement reads.
The man has since appeared in the Tzaneen Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, 30 April where he was denied bail and his case was postponed to 7 May for a formal bail application.
