Malawian man (30) was arrested for illegal dealing in dagga worth R375 000 on 7 March 2024. This comes after Kanoneiland police allegedly pounced on him and seized dagga. 

The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Lieutenant Col Sergio Kock said, the police from Kanoneiland Visible Policing and Detectives, under the command of Warrant Officer Frederick Engels, allegedly received a tip-off and raided a suspected drug house in Geelkop, near Kanoneiland. 

“The police searched the premises and found 15 bags of dagga with an estimated street value of R375 000,” he said. 

Meanwhile, the Northern Cape Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Koliswa Otola, commended the Kanoneiland police for the swift and professional action that ensured the arrest of the alleged dagga dealer. Otola also reiterated that they will continue to bolster efforts that are enhancing the police to squeeze the space for criminals to operate. 

“We will also like to thank the community for assisting with information regarding criminality in their respective communities. We also encourage the community to participate in the “RATE OUR SERVICE ” QR online survey and assist the police in improving our service to the public,” said Otola.
