The City of Cape Town’s Metro Police arrested a man on drug-related charges on Monday 9 March in Parow .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metro police spokesperson Supt Ruth Solomons said officers on patrol in the area spotted two men in a car in King Edward Street, whom they approached, and one of them got out dropped something and then kicked it underneath the vehicle before walking to a nearby shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The officers apprehended the suspect and escorted him back to the vehicle, where they found a bag of tik underneath the car.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shop owner then informed the officers the suspect had thrown a set of keys behind the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Officers questioned the suspect and he pointed a second vehicle out to them, and there they found a bag of cash, containing three different currencies – rands, dollars and naira – totalling R40 000,” Solomons said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect was arrested for dealing in drugs and was detained at Parow Police Station for further investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
