On Saturday night, the Titanium Securitas CPU team participated in a joint operation alongside Kuilsriver SAPS and Law Enforcement, focusing on community safety and removing illegal firearms and narcotics from the streets.
Shortly after the briefing concluded, the operation kicked off with a visit to a residential premises that had been identified as a possible drug distribution point.
SAPS members swiftly entered the premises, followed by Titanium Securitas officers. The property was thoroughly searched when a shoebox, which appeared suspiciously out of place, caught the attention of the team.
Upon closer inspection, multiple small bags containing a white powder, suspected to be cocaine, were discovered inside the box.
After further examination under sufficient light, the substance was confirmed to have the same consistency and appearance as cocaine. The suspect was immediately arrested and transported to Kuilsriver SAPS for further processing.
The drugs were subsequently weighed and estimated to have a street value of approximately R860 000.
A strong reminder that teamwork between private security and law enforcement agencies continues to play a vital role in keeping our communities safe
