MISDAADTONEEL: Da Gamaskop, Mosselbaai: ‘n 55-jarige man is op die toneel, waar die polisie hom na bewering met ‘n groot hoeveelheid dwelms, alkohol en kontant betrap het, gearresteer.
Maandag 11 Mei 2026, omstreeks 20:00, het die Da Gamaskop-polisie en lede van die Mosselbaai-seegrenspatrollie ‘n operasie in Raymond Mhlaba-straat, Luthuli Park in Mosselbaai, gedoen. Hulle het die perseel deursoek en op 965 Mandrax tablette, 181 gram Tik, 116 liter drank en ‘n onbekende bedrag kontant afgekom, het die polisie in ‘n verklaring gesê.
Die verdagte sal tereg op aanklagte van dwelmhandel sowel as die verkoop van drank sonder ‘n lisensie.
