17 September 2024- A man (40) was arrested for allegedly dealing in dagga. This comes after the vigilance and alert action by the Deben Station Commander, Captain Mosimaneotsile Letsapa on 16 September 2024.
This resulted in the arrest and seizure of dagga worth almost R340 000. Letsapa, who was en-route to Kathu driving on R380 road, noticed a suspicious silver Toyota Verso Sedan driving in the direction of Deben.
“I activated my members, who responded swiftly and spotted the vehicle. The members stopped and searched the vehicle and found dagga with an estimated street value of R340 000.
“The vehicle was also confiscated as it was utilized in the commission of a crime. The suspect is expected to appear in the Kathu Magistrate’s Court soon,” he said.
Meanwhile, the John Taolo Gaetsewe District Commissioner, Major General Johnny Besnaar, commended the vigilance of the police, stating that criminals will not be tolerated in his district and their space to operate will be squeezed to zero.
