Two vigilant Metro Police officers managed to arrest a known drug dealer for the second time this year on Sunday 11 February in Kuils River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Metro Police spokesperson, Senior Superintendent Zelda Martin, says a stop-and-search operation was being conducted in Kalkfontein in the Kuils River area when the arrest happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDuring the crime prevention patrol in Sylvia Street, officers recognised a known drug dealer sitting in front of a tuckshop. Upon searching the suspect, a transparent bag with 38 sachets of tik was discovered in his possession.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She says the officers confiscated the drugs and arrested the 29-year-old suspect for the possession of tik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe accused will appear in the Kuils River Magistrate\u2019s Court in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin says that while police were on patrol in Elsies River following a recent shooting in the area, they received a tip-off about drug dealing in 11th Avenue, Leonsdale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUpon arrival, a suspect was found with two half and two whole mandrax tablets in a yellow container in his pocket. A further search of the premises led to the discovery of five bankies of tik, two transparent bags containing dagga and 14 dagga cigarettes and a cash amount of R648.00.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
