Yesterday at about 16:00 two off duty police Constables arrested a 29-year-old suspect for dealing and possession of drugs.

The two police officials were sitting in front of the police barracks when approached by an unknown male who introduced himself as selling dagga and drugs. They showed interest and asked him to show what he was selling and was later arrested in possession of drugs and an undisclosed amount of cash.

The suspect is appearing at Elliotdale Magistrates’ Court today.

Amathole Acting District Commander Brigadier Ngangema Xakavu appreciated the job well done by members in insuring that they will fight crime even if they are off duty. He commended them for arresting the suspect when he was trying to sell drugs to them.
