Four nabbed for drug dealing in Clairwood
Four suspected drug dealers are due to appear in court today after being arrested by the Hawks in Clairwood, south of Durban.
The Hawks’ Simphiwe Mhlongo says officers seized 166 capsules of heroin during the joint operation.
He says the operation was part of efforts to curb drug abuse in KwaZulu-Natal.
"Four suspects aged between 29 and 49 were arrested for possession of drugs. In fact they were charged for dealing because we have been following them for quite some time,'' he said.
Meanwhile, police have arrested three people for being in possession of a drug called ‘jelly babies’.
The drugs are amphetamine-based and include crystal meth.
Officers also seized laptops and gas-powered guns.
Police say the suspects arrested in the Umhlathuzana area are due to appear in a Durban court soon.
