A 29-year-old woman in Murchison was recently nabbed by police for being in possession of drugs valued at R8 400.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Nqobile Gwala, said police officers from the provincial Drug and Firearm Unit conducted a sting operation in Murchison following an identified target suspected of dealing in drugs.
Gwala said the 29-year-old woman was found in possession of 18 packets of crystal meth and 80 mandrax tablets.
“The recovered drugs are valued at R8 400,” said Gwala.
She added that further investigations led the team to the Nkanyezini area where a 35-year-old man was found in possession of 591 mandrax tablets.
Gwala said the drugs were valued at R35 460, adding that both suspects appeared before the Port Shepstone Magistrate’s Court for possession and dealing in drugs last week.
