During an intelligence-driven operation in Khayelitsha, earlier today members attached to the Provincial Integrated Team arrested an 18-year-old man for dealing in drugs.
The members followed up on information on a suspect who was allegedly selling mandrax for a leading gang grouping and who is also involved in extortion incidents in the same area.
They searched the premises and found 2 800 mandrax tablets with an estimated street value of R300 000-00.
The suspect is due to appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrates Court on Thursday 2020-12-24.
Western Cape Provincial Commissioner Lt Gen Yolisa Matakata commended the members for their efforts to bring this young drug dealer to justice and she thanked the community members who reported criminals.
