An alleged drug dealer was arrested by the Kimberley Crime Prevention Unit after he was spotted driving a suspicious-looking vehicle around the suburb of Cassandra in Kimberley on Saturday, 29 December.
The police stopped the suspect and then accompanied him to his home in order to verify his passport as he is a foreign national. They proceeded to search the premises upon arrival.
Northern Cape police spokesperson, Sergio Kock, said the police unit found a suitcase full of drugs while searching through the premises and they also discovered a large amount of South African and American money.
“The police found mandrax, tik and khat with an approximate street value of R120 000. The suspect was charged with dealing in drugs and should be appearing in the Kimberley Magistrates’ Court soon,” said Kock.
The Provincial Commissioner of the Northern Cape, Risimati Shivuri, commended the police members for the work they did and said that the police will continue to ensure that criminals are brought to book during the festive season and beyond.
