FICKSBURG - The Welkom Public Order Police surely made their presence felt in Meqheleng and Ficksburg through arrests that they are effecting on a weekly basis targeting drugs and dagga sellers which seems problematic to the community as it affects young people.

The community has been playing a major role by working together with the police by becoming the eyes and ears for police. On 12 September 2022 they received anonymous information that came through about suspect that is alleged to be selling drugs at Zone 5, Meqheleng near Ficksburg.

At approximately 19:00 Monday night, 12 September 2022, members followed up on the information which eventually led to an arrest of the 49-year-old man and confiscation of cash in rand and Maluti currency, drugs including mandrax, crystal meth and 19 dagga packages.

The suspect has been charged and is expected to appear before the Ficksburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, 14 September 2022 facing charges of dealing in drugs and dagga.
