As authorities intensify their crackdown on drug-related crime, two suspects were arrested in separate incidents in Ravensmead yesterday.

 

The South African Police Service (SAPS) says the arrests were made within hours of one another, after responding to a tip-off about suspected drug activities at a house in Canterbury Street, Eureka Estate.

 

“Upon their arrival, a 34-year-old woman was arrested for possession of drugs after she was caught with nine tik sachets and 13 cocaine sachets at her residence.”

 

 

SAPS says she will appear in the Goodwood Magistrate’s Court once charged.

 

Meanwhile, a 34-year-old man was arrested after a raid at his home in 10th Avenue led to the seizure of drugs as well as money that is believed to be the proceeds of crime.

“Members discovered a large number of drugs such as ecstasy tablets, sachets of tik, cocaine, and mandrax tablets, including an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect was arrested in connection with these drugs and money, and he will appear at Bellville Magistrate’s Court once charged.”
