Members of the EMPD Tracing Unit arrested a Nigerian man
in Kempton Park, South Africa, found in possession of R300,000 worth of
drug cat, on Thursday April 21.
The
46-year-old Nigerian man was found packaging the drugs in his room at
Aston
Place flats in Kempton Park in Ekurhuleni. According to EMPD spokesman
Chief Superintendent Wilfred Kgasago, they had acted on a tip- off.
"We
received reliable information about a drug dealer operating
from a flat in Long Street. The EMPD Drug Enforcement Unit acted on that
information. It resulted in the arrest of a man found in possession of
the drug cat estimated to be worth about R300 000 on the streets."
Kgasago added that this was part of the EMPD operation called Bumper to
Bumper.
"Surveillance
of the suspect was carried out over a period of three days. The
opportune time to pounce on the drug dealer presented itself on
Thursday. The man was found in his room unpacking a huge quantity of the
illicit substance that was mostly in block form," said Kgasago
The
Nigerian man was arrested and charged with dealing in illicit
substances and is expected to appear in the Kempton Park Magistrates
Court soon.
