Two men released on bail for dealing in steroids

Two suspects were released on R5 000 and R10 000 bail, respectively, after they appeared in the Strand Magistrates Court on Tuesday for dealing in steroids.

The Hawks arrested 24-year-old Jean Stemmet in the Strand area on Monday, whilst 38-year-old Christiaan Jacobus Roode, a Shop owner handed himself over on Tuesday morning.

''An authorised search warrant was executed at the said store following information received about a business owner who was selling medicine from his shop. This resulted to an intelligence operation which established that the shop owner did not have valid documents for the medicine,’’ said Hawks provincial spokesperson, Zinzi Hani.

‘’During the search, numerous steroids worth an undisclosed amount were found together with an undisclosed cash amount suspected to be proceeds of crime, were all seized for further investigation,’’ she added.

The case has been postponed to the 31 October 2022.
