Our endeavours to break the back of the lucrative drug trade in this province led to the discovery of drugs valued at R4 million and the arrest of three suspects during the early hours of this morning. Members attached to Public Order Policing reacted on a tipoff that a vehicle was scheduled to make a drug delivery in Elsies River and conducted a vehicle checkpoint in the area. The vehicle in question, a Toyota Etios was stopped and searched which resulted in the arrest of three male suspects aged between 32 and 41 for having 35160 mandrax tablets and 4.3 kg of tik in their possession.
In Kleinvlei members of the same unit arrested a 34-year-old man for being in possession of 30 mandrax tablets after they also reacted on a tipoff last night.
