While on patrol in Rietfontein Road, last Sunday, officers from the Gauteng K9 Unit noticed a 29-year-old man acting suspiciously.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey noticed that when the accused saw the marked police vehicle he began searching himself.<\/p>
\u201cThis made them even more suspicious and they attempted to stop him, with the intent to search him,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose.<\/p>\n
Before officers reached him he attempted to escape by running into Daisy Road, but he was soon cornered.<\/p>
\u201cPolice searched him and found a clear zip lock packet containing a suspicious substance believed to be crystal methamphetamine,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The man was arrested and taken to the Primrose Police Station where he was formally charged with drug possession.<\/p>\n
He will appear in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court soon.<\/p>\n
