SAPS to target drug dealers

Drug dealers have nowhere to hide under the watchful eye of the SAPS.

On Thursday (January 18), oSizweni police clamped down on three alleged drug dealers.

During the arrest, drugs to the street value of R2 800 were confiscated.

The first two arrests took place in oSizweni, when oSizweni Crime Prevention Unit received information regarding a house in Section C.

Upon investigating, the unit recovered three parcels of dagga in the house and a live round for a 9mm pistol.

A 29-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman were arrested.
