A SUSPECT, who was found in possession of dagga that was stashed in his car, was expected to appear in the Douglas Magistrate’s Court on Thursday on a charge of dealing in drugs.
Police spokesperson Captain Olebogeng Tawana said the suspect was arrested on Wednesday on the R357 road between Douglas and Kimberley.
“Members of Douglas Visible Policing, in partnership with provincial traffic officers and safety volunteers, were conducting a road safety awareness campaign on the R357 when they pulled over a white Volkswagen Polo Vivo.
“The team inspected the vehicle to check whether the vehicle was roadworthy and found that vehicle’s licence disc has expired.”
Tawana added that members searched the vehicle and discovered bags of dagga stashed in the boot.
“The suspect was en route to deliver dagga in Prieska.”
The acting commander of the Pixley ka Seme District, Brigadier Nomana Adonis, praised the team members for their alertness and relentless efforts in the fight to eradicate drugs from society.
“We will continue to intensify police visibility to clamp down on those who are making use of the public roads to transport illicit goods,” Adonis added.
