Officers conducted an intelligence-driven operation at  premises in Factreton on Wednesday 19 March.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WO David Stemmit, communications officer at the station, said officers also seized R260 000 cash.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The officers searched the premises and found a huge amount of dagga plants and dagga cigarettes with a street value of nearly R200 000, and cash to the value of R263 970 was also seized. Scales to weigh the dagga were also seized.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jameelah Liedeman, chair of the Kensington Community Policing Forum, said drug abuse remains rife especially among young people in the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are aware that many believe dagga is not a drug, yet very young children are becoming addicted to it, the go-to substance that leads to others. The amount of dagga and cash found on the premises is very shocking as it&#8217;s right under our noses. We trust that under the leadership of the station commander there will be more such operations in our precinct.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheslyn Steenberg, Ward 56 councillor, expressed his gratitude to the officers. &#8220;This once again proves that our communities have hardworking police officers who are not appreciated. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This operation sheds light on the ongoing strategic breakdown of our community intentionally by means of drugs.&#8221; \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He called on residents to report all suspicious activity. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspect appeared in the Cape Town Magistrates&#8217; Court on Monday 24 March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" data-attachment-id=\"66499\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/man-nabbed-for-r200k-dagga\/jkbdrugs2_87296-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/JkbDrugs2_87296-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,900\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"JkbDrugs2_87296\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/JkbDrugs2_87296-1-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/JkbDrugs2_87296-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/JkbDrugs2_87296-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/JkbDrugs2_87296-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/JkbDrugs2_87296-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/JkbDrugs2_87296-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Kensington man was arrested for dealing in drugs (Supplied)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kensington police believe they have made a breakthrough against the scourge of drug trading in the area, following the arrest of a 40-year-old man for possession of dagga valued at almost R200 000.
