Drug dealers gets 'crafty' in hiding their stash
The City of Cape Town says drug dealers has become somewhat creative in hiding their stash.
In the past week, Metro police officers arrested five
suspects in various areas for being in possession of drugs, after officers
found contraband in some very ‘unique circumstances.’
Last Wednesday, a 49-year-old suspect was arrested in
Parklands after officers found a parcel behind a toilet bowl at a house in the
area, containing 68 mandrax tablets, three bags of tik and two small bags of
cocaine.
A day prior, at approximately 22:30, officers on patrol in
Steenberg recovered nine mandrax tablets from a hole in the wall at a tuckshop
in Steenberg, and arrested a suspect.
On Monday, 8 January 2024, three women, aged between 19 and
39, were arrested after officers acted on a tip off about drugs at a premises
in Elsies River. They found 219 tik sachets and R5 000 in cash inside a vacuum
cleaner.

services deal with a lot on a daily basis.
‘’Drug dealers too are becoming increasingly crafty at
hiding their stashes, from toilet bowls to ceilings, inside stoves and now even
vacuum cleaners. However, our staff are up to the task, as the confiscations in
the last week have shown, and we commend them for it.’’
