Three men were arrested Tuesday for the possession of dagga worth R80 000. A police van patrolling the Philadelphia area noticed a white Audi driving slowly along the N7 highway in the direction of a parking facility used by trucks at 23:30 .
“When the police officials arrived they noticed two vehicles in the parking area, the Audi and a white Toyota Corolla as well as three men standing next to the vehicles,” says Inspector Bernadine Steyn.
Steyn says when the men became aware of the police’s presence they fled the scene in the Audi which drove in the direction of Bothasig.
“In Plattekloof Road, Bothasig police blocked the road and the Audi was stopped. Police searched the vehicle and found two bags containing dagga and arrested the three suspects for dealing of dagga,” says Steyn.
When the other car involved was searched by police, they came across two more bags of dagga as well as 18 bags were found near the vehicle.
“A total of 22 bags containing dagga were confiscated, one bag weighing 50 kg,” said Steyn.
The three suspects from Khayelitsha aged 18, 22 and 30 years are to appear in the Malmesbury Magistrates court soon.
