While on a routine patrol in Rietfontein Road, last Thursday, officers from the Primrose Police Station noticed a man running from a house towards a vehicle parked on the side of the road.<\/p>\n
Suspicious, they stopped the man before he reached the vehicle and searched him.<\/p>
\u201cDuring the search police found a small plastic bag containing a white substance, they believed to be drugs, in the 42-year-old man\u2019s front pocket,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile being questioned by police the man confessed the substance was drugs.\u201d<\/p>
He was arrested and charged with possession of drugs.<\/p>\n
The suspect has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court, where his case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
