THANKS to community members, one more drug dealer is off the streets of Wentworth.
Community members notified Brighton Beach SAP of the drug dealing activities of a 54-year-old woman operating under the pseudonym of Cynthia at a bus stop in Wentworth. After monitoring the situation, Brighton Beach crime prevention unit members arrested her on charges of possession of a banned substance, after they found six parcels of dagga on her.
Brighton Beach SAP thanks the community members who came forward with information. “By buying banned substances, a market is created within your own community. Drug dependency then increases, which in turn becomes a crime generator. The fight against drugs can only be won if communities reject the sale of banned substances and report the distributors,” said Brighton Beach SAP communications officer, Captain Louise Le Roux.
