Wynberg police arrested a 48-year-old lawyer for dealing in drugs at Wynberg Court on Friday.
The police’s Wesley Twigg said that officers received
a tip-off that a lawyer will bring drugs to the court house and a description
was given.
‘’The members followed up on the information
and a lawyer fitting the description was apprehended. He was searched and found
in possession of eighty packets of crystal meth (tik).’’
The suspect was arrested and detained, and he
is due to make a court appearance in Wynberg on Monday.
In September 2021, a Cape Town lawyer was
caught red-handed with R9 600 worth of drugs that was reportedly for a client
he was representing. The 39-year-old Khayelitsha resident was arrested at the
Bellville Regional Court by a vigilant court orderly. The orderly apparently became
suspicious after he noticed the lawyer with a green plastic bag – something
which drew his attention. The lawyer drew further attention to himself after he
was excused from court proceedings by the presiding magistrate for suspected
intoxication.
