Earlier this morning, 24 August 2022 members of SAPS Eersterust arrested two suspects, aged 35 and 41, for dealing and possession of drugs following a community tip-off.

The SAPS members’ operationalised information obtained on suspected drug dealing activities taking place in the community and proceeded to the identified address.

Upon their arrival the members conducted a search on the suspects' vehicle which was parked outside the said address. This led the members to recover drugs, suspected to be CAT and Mandrax.

The duo is expected to appear before Hatfield Magistrates' Court soon.
