During a crime prevention operation held in the Germiston and Primrose areas last Monday, members of the EMPD Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) apprehended three male suspects, between 6.30am and 9am.<\/p>\n

Narcotics and cash believed to be the proceeds of illegal trade were confiscated in two of the arrests.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

In the first incident at 6.45am EMPD DEU officers approached a suspicious-looking 28-year-old man in Webber Road.<\/p>\n

They allegedly found 23.6g of loose dagga, one gram of Kat valued at R600, and R700 in cash in the suspect\u2019s possession following a body search.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cAs officers were handcuffing the offender, an untrustworthy onlooker among the spectators showed the officers a clean pair of heels, but he was cornered and caught on Argyle Road at 6.50am,\u201d said Kobeli Mokheseng, the spokesperson for the EMPD.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen interviewed, the man who is in his 30s, confessed to having entered the country illegally, without the necessary documents, and he was arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n

The suspect was taken to the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>\n
