A 36-year-old woman was arrested for dealing in drugs when police conducted an operation in Illovo, recently.
Police officers in the province remain enduring in their onslaught on drug dealers as they seize large quantities of illegal substances in KwaZulu-Natal.
Provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker said, “Police seized 259 grams of crystal meth with an estimated street value of R91,000. The suspect was detained at the Amanzimtoti police station where she was charged. She appeared at the Umbumbulu Magistrates Court on drug dealing charges.”
The KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Khombinkosi Jula welcomed the arrest and seizures.
“While we deal with the social challenges which leads to people resorting to drug usage, we will continue to disrupt the activities of drug dealers in the province. The scourge of drug abuse has to be fought in a multi- faceted manner if we want to win this war. We also welcome the sterling efforts of many organisations and NGO’s who are contributing towards rehabilitating and educating our youth on the dangers associated with dabbling in illegal substances,’’ he said.
