Western Cape: A 52 year old woman from Browns Farm appeared in the Philippi Magistrates' Court today for being found in possession of dagga.

Members of the Western Cape Flying Squad were on patrol when they received information about a house from which the owners are selling dagga in the Philippi area. The members went to the address in Browns Farm to conduct a search in the shack and 156 kg of dagga stashed in big drums and various bags were found.  The suspect was arrested on the spot and charged for the possession of dagga.

Nyanga police management thanked community members who continue to be the eyes and ears of the police and are giving information to them.
