The Grassy Park community have threatened to take the law into the own hands after a policeman accused of dealing with drugs had his charges dropped.

Police arrested detective Reginald Daniels at his home in Grassy Park during a raid in December. They found 31 packets of tik at his house.

In February Daniels was allegedly found in possession of drugs while on bail, according to the Cape Times.

However Daniels told the Wynberg Magistrates Court that police allegedly planted the drugs and this charge was dropped.

Communities are believed to be frustrated as they feel the justice system is failing them. Some even feel like taking the law into their own hands.

Daniels is currently back at work and his case is still pending.
