Suspects were arrested in connection to drugs and
illegal firearms in Parklands, Table view by Police officials attached to the Maitland
Flying Squad.
Members were responding to intelligence
regarding drugs and firearm at a residence in the area and a suspect fled the
premises upon police presence.
Members went on to search the premises and they
seized crystal meth, cocaine and ecstasy tablets with an estimated street value
of R100 000. They also found an imitation firearm, two magazines and ammunition.
Two suspects, a 42-year-old and a 52-year-old
were arrested and put in police custody at the Table View precinct and were
charged with dealing in drugs, possession of an imitation firearm and
ammunition.
“The determination by the Western Cape police
to get rid of drugs and illegal firearms in our communities which are the
sources of criminal activities and to put the perpetrators of the law behind
bars has once again paid off when the suspects were arrested,” said Western
Cape police spokesperson, Anelisiwe Manyana.
The suspects will soon appear in the Cape Town
Magistrates’ Court on the mentioned charges.
