Drug dealer nabbed thanks to public information
Florida Police in civillian clothes arrested a suspected drug dealer after receiving information from the public.
On Sunday 1 March at around 10 am the policemen arrived at Kerdis Flats in Gordon Road where they were told drugs were being sold from. Knocking at the main door a woman answered the door, said police spokesperson Lydia Dikolomela.
“The police explained their reason for the visit and the woman informed them that she shares the flat with a man.
“They proceeded to knock on his bedroom door,” Dikolomela said.
“After explaining their purpose of visiting to him they requested to conduct a search,” she said.
During the search the policemen happened upon a transparent plastic bag in which blue and black plastic bags were stored, each containing a white powder substance suspected to be drugs.
“It is alleged that when he was questioned about the substance, he apologised,” Dikolomela told the Record.
The suspect, who is a 30-year-old foreign national, was arrested and detained for possession of drugs pending his appearance in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court.
