At 3.10pm, police in plain clothes were patrolling the area when they saw a suspicious-looking man, they stopped him and asked if they could search him.
Springs police spokesman Captain Johannes Ramphora, says he agreed to be searched and the police found a bag containing a white substance.
When he couldn’t answer the questions asked by the policemen, they arrested him and took him to the Springs Police cells.
