Police members attached to Mitchells Plain Sub District Crime Combatting Unit were instrumental in the recovery of a consignment of drugs in Milnerton during an intelligence -driven operation on Sunday, 16 March 2025.
The members received a detailed briefing before executing this meticulous planned search and seizure operation. They operationalised the information at their disposal and departed to an identified address in Milnerton. Upon approaching the identified premises in Arena North, they tactically entered the premises, despite efforts by the occupants to deny them entry.
The members searched the two males whom they found inside the home. The members interrogated the males who were found in possession of a small quantity of drugs. The information obtained led the SAPS members to another premises where they found a VW Up which they inspected and recovered a consignment of drugs and cash. They detained two Nigerian foreign nationals for dealing in drugs.
Once charged the suspects are expected to make a court appearance in the Cape Town Magistrates’ Court on the mentioned charge.
