Three suspects have been arrested in Woodstock early this morning for possession of drugs with an estimated street value of R5 000, an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.

The arrest follows after police , in joint operation with other law enforcement agencies, executed search warrants at suspected drug outlets in Essex street in the area.

“During the searching of the premises we recovered a 9mm taurus pistol and 54 rounds of ammunition.

“We also confiscated twenty stoppe dagga , five ecstasy tablets , one plastic bank bag filled with tik-tik and various stolen bank cards,” said Sergeant Hilton Malila.

The suspects are in police custody, and face charges of possession of a fire arm and ammunition without a licence and possession of drugs.

They will appear in the Cape Town Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.
