Vigilant police patrol by Colesberg police paid dividends when drugs valued at R3 million rand were recovered.
The Colesberg police were doing normal patrols this morning at about 02:00 when they suspected an Audi car at Engen garage on the N1. Upon searching the vehicle, police discovered the mandrax. The 54-year-old suspect from Gauteng was immediately arrested. Preliminary investigation reveal that the suspect was waiting for his accomplices from the Eastern Cape to collect the drugs in Colesberg.
The Cluster Commander of Pixley Ka Seme, Brigadier Nomahlubi Sofika has commended the good work done Colesberg members.
