Hawks members from Port Shepstone Serious Organised Crime Investigation working together with National Intervention Unit, Crime Intelligence, and Durban Metro Police members recently arrested a 32-year-old suspect for dealing in drugs at Bottlebrush Crescent in Chatsworth.
Hawks spokesperson, Captain Simphiwe Mhlongo, said members received information about drug dealing activities in the area, and an intelligence driven operation was conducted.
“They swooped on his house and a search was conducted. During the search, members found pieces of rock cocaine and mandrax tablets with a street value of approximately R41 050. Members further confiscated R5 780 cash suspected to be the proceeds of crime,” said Mhlongo, adding that the suspect was placed under arrest and charged for dealing in drugs.
He added that the suspect is expected to appear in the Chatsworth Magistrate’s Court soon.
