MISDAADTONEEL: Bellville, Kaapstad: Die Metropolisie se honde-eenheid het weer in Bellville toegeslaan waar hulle Mandrax-tablette met ‘n straatwaarde van meer as R130 000 gekonfiskeer het.

Toe hulle by die perseel aankom, het die huisbewoner hulle toestemming gegee om die plek te deursoek.
“Beamptes het aanvanklik op vier Mandrax-tablette afgekom, maar het toe besluit om die honde-eenheid in te roep. Dit was nie lank nie voordat K9 ‘Bunny’ sy hanteerder na ‘n swart sak wat agter ‘n kas versteek was, gelei het.
“In die sak was byna 3 000 Mandrax-tablette met ‘n straatwaarde van meer as R130 000, 14 rondtes ammunisie, ‘n gesteelde selfoon en meer as R5 000 kontant,” het Smith gesê.
‘n 34-jarige verdagte is gearresteer en word by die Bellville SAPD aangehou.

“In it was nearly 3 000 Mandrax tablets with a street value of more than R130 000, 14 rounds of ammunition, a stolen cellphone and more than R5 000 in cash,” said Smith.
