During a Primrose police foot patrol in the Delport, Makause and Marathon informal settlements last Friday, police arrested eight suspects.<\/p>\n
The men, aged between 26 and 54 years old, were charged with possession of dagga after police searched them and found the dagga.<\/p>
\u201cWe continue to appeal to the community to remember that dagga is still regarded as a drug and anyone found in possession of it will face criminal charges,\u201d said communications officer for the Primrose police Sgt Styles Maome.<\/p>\n
