Western Cape Flying Squad members seized 1.2 ton dagga during the early hours of Monday morning, at a residence in Khayalitsha.
The members received information from a reliable source that a furniture removal truck was en route to make a dagga delivery in Khayelitsha shortly after midnight.
The area was extensively patrolled and at approximately 00:30 the truck was spotted on the R300 freeway, where it was pulled off the road.
“They found they truck but the truck had no dagga. So they interrogated the driver and he led them to a residence in Khayelitsha, where a quantity of dagga, with the weight of 1.2 tons was confiscated,” says Superintendent André Trout.
“Five people, four males and one female were arrested and are now facing charges of dealing in contraband and they will make a court appearance once they are charged,” says Trout.
