On Saturday, 26 November at about 19:00 Anti-Gang
Unit (AGU) members executed a search warrant at a house in Highfield Road
in Korsten.
According to Colonel Priscilla Naidu, police spokesperson, a total of 2 947 tablets (Stilpain, Purata, Brazepan and Tripeline)
were confiscated.
“A 40-year-old woman was arrested and detained for
contravening the Medicines Control Act. The estimated street value of the
tablets is R12 842. Police also confiscated cash,” Naidu said.
The woman will appear in the Gelvandale Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 28 November.
Police are warning people that Schedule 5/6 tablets, as the ones
that were seized, must require a prescription from a medical practitioner and
cannot be bought from any individual who is not a doctor.
