Police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said the intelligence was gathered about a man who was selling drugs within the KwaDukuza policing precinct.


 “The information was operationalised and a 25-year-old foreign national was cornered and arrested at his home in Newtown,” said Netshiunda.


He added that, “He was found in possession of an assortment of drugs including crack cocaine, mandrax, khat wrappings and pure cocaine estimated to a street value of just over R100 000-00.”

Netshiunda said that two more foreign nationals, aged 23 and 36 years old were arrested on Glenhills Drive, KwaDukuza and Russel Street in Newtown, after the police officers followed more information on suspected drug dealers.


“A search at the suspects residences led to the recovery of rock cocaine estimated to a street value of several thousands of rand,” he added.

The arrested suspects are expected to appear in court soon for the charges of possession and dealing in drugs.
