\u201cWe will continue to conduct similar operations throughout Primrose,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n

Police believe that substance abuse can be linked to other crimes in the area, such as domestic violence, murder, child neglect, robberies and assaults.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt is our hope that by eradicating substance abuse we will see a drastic drop in related crimes,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n

The men, aged between 18 and 33 years old, were taken to the Primrose Police Station, where they each paid an admission of guilt fine and were released on a warning.<\/p>\n
