Juno and Anwar Jansen — Fresh from a successful drug bust in Cloetesville earlier this month, Stellenbosch K9 Unit member Juno and his handler Anwar Jansen struck in Klapmuts on Saturday 19 September, uncovering a stash of drugs with an estimated street value of R2 800. According to a statement from Stellenbosch Municipality, members of the newly formed unit and Klapmuts police were following up on information about suspected drug activity, when Juno sniffed out drugs hidden beneath a cupboard. The drug haul included 36 half Mandrax tablets, eight quarter Mandrax tablets, one full Mandrax tablet and 38 small bags of tik. One male suspect was arrested on charges relating to the possession of illegal substances. “Juno’s success highlights the important role that trained K9s can play in supporting police operations and combating drug-related crime in our communities,” the statement read. “The K9 programme is still to be officially launched and will subsequently be rolled out to all areas, strengthening municipal law-enforcement efforts and bringing this valuable resource to more communities.”
