A Delft couple is set to appear in the Bellville Magistrate’s Court after being caught with crystal meth valued over R28 000, along with an unlicensed firearm.

 

The South African Police Services (SAPS) says the 41-year-old man and his 25-year-old girlfriend were arrested earlier today during a raid on their Delft home.

 

SAPS spokesperson Ndakhe Gwala says members of the National Intervention Unit (NIU) acted on intelligence about illegal activity at the property on Mulanje Street, Matroosfontein.

 

“Upon arrival, they found a 9mm pistol without a serial number, eight rounds of ammunition, and 648 sachets of crystal meth with an estimated street value of R28 420.00.”

 

Their arrests come on the heels of another drug bust in Parow at the start of the week, where Metro Police officers arrested a suspect for dealing in illegal substances.
