A woman (48) was arrested for dealing in drugs. This comes after the members from Crime Intelligence in ZF Mgacwu District received a tip-off pertaining to the storage of drugs at a premises in Rosedale. 

The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Colonel Cherelle Ehlers said on Friday, a tactical intelligence operation was executed at the identified address on Friday.

“This was done in conjunction with crime intelligence and Upington Border Police. On arrival, a suspect was found on the premises and a search was conducted in her presence. The search led to the discovery of dagga to an estimated value of R42 525,” she said.
