A man (35) was arrested for being in possession of Crystal Meth (Tik) with an estimated street value of R15 000 in Wilger Street in Prieska on Tuesday. The suspect was arrested by the crime prevention unit at around 9pm. 

The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Lieutenant Col Sergio Kock said the Prieska Crime Prevention unit will continue to clamp down on drug trafficking in their station area. 

“In a separate accident, the members of the same unit searched an alleged drug house in Mclean Street, Prieska and found Crystal Meth hidden inside the fridge with an estimated street value of R34 000. They subsequently arrested a man (25),” he said.

“Both suspects are expected to appear in the Prieska Magistrate’s Court soon on charges of illegal possession of drugs,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Northern Cape police encourage the community to participate in the “RATE OUR SERVICE” QR online survey and assist the police in improving their service to the public.
