Visible policing leads to arrest at filling station of man in possession of heroin

Sergeant Pierre Fourie, Captain Michelle Doubelle and Constable Makama Morake

Visible Policing members’ quick response played an important role in the seizure of Heroin with an estimated value of R25 000.00.

A man sitting on a bench at a filling station with on a packet of crisps would seem common enough, right?

Wrong – because when you are a member of Crime Intelligence acting on information of a distribution spot for drugs and you are trained to pick up on specific behavioral patterns, you are not going to take anything at face value.

After conducting observation duties at the indicated filling station for some time, the Crime Intelligence members of the Sunnyside Cluster immediately dispatched Visible Policing members to the hotspot.

Inside the packet police found 250 packets of heroin with an estimated value of R25 000,00.

The suspect was arrested and the heroin seized.
