Dagga worth R500 000 was discovered in a veld in Rietfontein on Tuesday. The police were allegedly conducting a rural safety crime prevention patrol when they noticed a black bag lying in the veld. The ZF Mgcawu District Police spokesperson, Sergeant Omphile Masegela said the police decided to go and investigate what was in the bag as it appeared strange to them.
“The police got a strong scent of dagga and opened the bag. It contained compressed dagga with an estimated street value of R568 464-65,” said Masegela.
The Rietfontein Station Commander, Captain Mthuthuzeli Block applauded the police for their vigilance.
