A suspect (49) was arrested for being in possession of drugs. This comes after the police received a tip-off regarding a foreign national, who was allegedly in possession of drugs and pounced on him.

The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Lieutenant Col Sergio Kock said the Danielskuil and Postmasburg police, pounced on an unsuspecting dealer and confiscated drugs worth about R10 000.

“On Tuesday at around 12:40pm, the police operationalised the information and the suspect allegedly fled when he noticed the approaching police vehicle. The police gave chase and arrested him minutes later in Marantheng, Danielskuil and confiscated the Mandrax tablets found in his possession.

“The suspect will appear in the Danielskuil Magistrate’s Court soon on charges of possession of drugs. The investigation continues. The police encourage the community to participate in the RATE OUR SERVICE QR online survey and assist the police in improving our service to the public,” he said.
