Two suspects aged 34 and 43 are expected to appear before the Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom Magistrate’s Courts respectively following their arrest by the Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime Investigation on Tuesday.
According to the Hawks spokesperson in North West, Capt Tlangelani Rikhotso, the suspects were arrested in separate incidents after the police followed up on information regarding drug dealing.
“The first suspect was arrested at Leask street in Klerksdorp after the police searched his vehicle and allegedly found drugs worth R25 000 and approximately R4800 cash. All the items, including the vehicle, were seized for further investigation,” Rikhotso said.
Meanwhile, on the same day in Potchefstroom, a second suspect was arrested by the Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime Investigation police assisted by members of Crime Intelligence. Rikhotso said this follows a search conducted at the suspect’s rental apartment, where packets of Crystal Meth worth approximately R45 000 were found stashed inside the stove oven.
She said the suspect will face charges of dealing and possession of drugs.
