A 43-year-old woman was arrested in Wellington on Thursday (16 April) after police seized drugs during a coordinated operation in Hoop Street.
According to Western Cape police spokesperson Constable Ndakhe Gwala various South African Police Service units in the Western Cape executed a search warrant at a residence at approximately 11:45.
