“He [the suspect] will appear in court soon. Bramley police will continue to fight crime with the aim of ensuring the safety of society from the drug dealers.”
Mogodi shared the following safety tips for the community:
- Alcohol and drug abuse kills
- Drugs are substances which may have intoxicating, performance enhancing or other effects when consumed, so stay away from them
- Do not believe everything that you hear from the drug dealers
- Much of what you hear about drugs actually comes from those selling them. They never talk bad about the use of drugs. The truth is, drugs will ruin your life
- Get the facts about drugs and make your own decisions.
