Metro Police officers arrested a 47-year-old
Ruyterwacht resident on a charge of drug dealing on Friday
According to the City of Cape Town’s Mayco
member for safety and security, JP Smith, officers had a search warrant, but
the man refused them entry.
‘’Officers forced their way into the house, and
caught the owner flushing drugs down the toilet. They managed to recover 73
ecstasy tablets, two packets of tik and R2 690 in cash.’’
The suspect was arrested and is being held at
Elsies River police station.
In an unrelated incident, an officer arrested a
suspect for armed robbery and possession of an illegal firearm on Sunday.
‘’The Inspector was driving along Klipfontein
Road, near Jan Smuts Drive when he spotted a minibus taking a wrong turn and
two males falling out of the vehicle. The officer pursued the two men, and
managed to apprehend one of them. He also recovered a 9mm firearm, with its
serial number filed off.’’ Says Smith.
The man is expected to appear in court soon.
