Kakamas- A crime prevention operation held by Kakamas police this weekend yielded several successes.

Lieutenant Sergio Kock said as part of the operation, police searched several homes and followed up on information provided by the community about suspected criminal activities at certain houses in the area.

“At a house in Langverwag Kakamas, police became suspicious when the occupants refused to open the door. Police could hear the flushing of the toilet and quick thinking by the police officers led them to the pipes outside the house. Police opened the outlet pipe from the outside and found dagga being flushed into the sewer pipe” Kock said.

The suspects attempted to get rid of the cannabis by flushing it.

“Almost 1.8kg of dagga was found clogged in an outlet pipe leading from the flushed toilet to the sewerage system of the premises. The police found dagga with a street value of approximately R8 615 inside the toilet drainage pipe” he outlines.

The police arrested two females and a minor.

They were charged with dealing in dagga.

Kock said a 14-year-old minor was released in the care of a guardian and the other two female suspects aged 30 and 34 appeared in the Kakamas Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

The suspects were remanded in custody and the case was postponed until 4 August 2014 for a formal bail application.
