The Hawks in the Northern Cape with the assistance of the Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU), secured a preservation order of a vehicle worth R85 700 against Melvin Malebo (39). The Hawks provincial spokesperson, Warrant Officer Nomthandazo Mnisi said, the order was granted by the Kimberley Magistrate’s Court on 15 March 2024.
“This follows the arrest of Malebo during April 2023. The police received a tip-off regarding a vehicle parked at the Diamond Pavilion Mall and was allegedly selling drugs. The police acted swiftly and intercepted the vehicle.
“During the search, the police allegedly found mandrax tablets and tik in the vehicle with an estimated street value of R 100 000. The accused was immediately apprehended and the case docket was handed over to Priority Crime Specialised Investigation for further probe,” she said.
Mnisi said this culminated into the vehicle being preserved for future forfeiture.
