A Nigerian foreign national (26) is expected to appear in Molopo Magistrate’s Court in Mahikeng on 10 June 2024, for possession and dealing in drugs. The suspect was arrested on Thursday morning, 6 June 2024, by Mmabatho Visible Policing members during a crime intelligence-driven and tactical operation.
According to the North West police spokesperson, Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone, the police allegedly kept observation along Bray Road, where they spotted the suspect’s vehicle (White Volkswagen Polo with Gauteng Province registration number). Mokgwabone said a car chase ensued after the suspect ignored the police’s instruction to stop.
“The determined police eventually stopped the vehicle and conducted a search, which led to the discovery of 43.8 grams of crystal meth and mandrax tablets with an estimated street value of R16 000.
“The suspect was then arrested. Moreover, the team confiscated the suspect’s vehicle,” he said.
