Sasolburg K9 seizes drugs worth 200K
SASOLBURG – A swift and effective operation by members of the Sasolburg K9 Unit and Crime Intelligence has led to the arrest of a suspect on charges of drug dealing and possession. In a statement released on June 23, Sasolburg police reported that they acted on information about a new drug outlet in the area. Their attention was drawn to an African male standing in the driveway of his rented apartment. His suspicious behaviour upon noticing the approaching police vehicle prompted officers to investigate further. While a search of his residence yielded nothing, a follow-up inspection of the outside area where he had been standing produced significant results. Inside the fender of a nearby parked LDV, officers discovered a plastic package containing drugs such as Tik and CAT, with an estimated street value of R200 000. A larger bag of drugs and an undisclosed amount of cash were also recovered. The 32-year-old foreign national was immediately arrested and will soon appear in the Sasolburg Magistrate's Court on charges of drug dealing and possession.

Sasolburg K9 Unit officers seized Tik and CAT worth an estimated R200 000 from a hidden compartment in a parked LDV during a targeted drug bust. A 32-year-old foreign national was arrested in Sasolburg on Monday, June 23, after police uncovered drugs worth an estimated R200 000 hidden in a parked vehicle. Members of the Sasolburg K9 Unit, working alongside Crime Intelligence, launched a targeted operation following information about a new drug outlet in the area. Their attention was drawn to a man standing in the driveway of his rented apartment, whose suspicious behaviour upon noticing the police vehicle prompted officers to act. A search of his residence yielded no results, but a subsequent inspection of the outdoor area where he had been standing led to a breakthrough. Inside the fender of a nearby light delivery vehicle, police found a plastic package containing drugs including Tik and CAT. A larger stash and an undisclosed amount of cash were also seized. The suspect was arrested on charges of dealing in and possession of drugs. He is expected to appear in the Sasolburg Magistrate's Court soon.
