Pella-Police seized dagga over the weekend to the value of more than R3000. 

“This came after a Crime Prevention Operation was launched. Members of the Springbok K9 unit were called in to assist with the Operation and they brought along a dog named “Brandon” under the command of Capt Bernie Murray” Lieutenant Donald Mdhluli said. Several houses of suspected drug smugglers were searched. 

“Bags containing dagga were found at the outside parameters of the premises.The dagga recovered by a police dog” Mdhluli said.

“According to Constable Freddie Korten, Capt Murray did a good job guiding Brandon. Most of the dagga was found by the dog and was fresh and already packaged for sale” He said. 

Constable Korten says four inquiry dockets were opened and as soon as results are available from LCRC arrests will follow.

Capt Bernard Böck, who was also part of the Operation applauded Capt Murray and his own members for a job well done.

He said that through this integrated approach such great successes can be achieved. 

He said he was grateful to see the commitment his members shown throughout the Operation as they covered long distances behind Brandon. Böck further stated that he will be very grateful if any positive results can be obtained from LCRC as his station already has 3 dagga cases showing commitments in dealing with suspects of dagga.
