Police have dealt a blow to drug dealing in Mitchells Plain after arresting a 55-year-old woman and seizing drugs worth an estimated R882,000 in Tafelsig on Thursday.
SAPS spokesperson Thembakazi Mpendukana said officers acted on information about drugs allegedly being sold from a house in Winterhoek Street.
“Upon their arrival at around 20:40, a thorough search was conducted, resulting in the discovery of drugs worth an estimated R882,000,” Mpendukana said.
The drugs seized included tik, rock cocaine, 1,177 Mandrax tablets, and 4,000 alprazolam tablets.
The suspect faces charges of possession of drugs and contravention of the Medicines and Related Substances Act. She is expected to make her first appearance in the Mitchells Plain Magistrate’s Court once she has been formally charged.
