During a foot patrol through Primrose\u2019s informal settlements, on Wednesday, the Primrose police arrested four suspects, aged between 25 and 43 years old, for possession of dagga.<\/p>\n
They were detained at the Primrose Police Station following their arrest.<\/p>
\u201cWe are still battling the challenge of substance abuse in our precinct and hope that by carrying out operations such as these and arresting law breakers we will make a difference,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
Police believe that substance abuse could be the cause of many domestic violence incidents, murders and unnecessary assaults.<\/p>
All four suspects paid admission of guilt fines and were released on a warning.<\/p>\n
