Members of the Germiston cluster task team mounted a successful operation, recently.<\/p>\n

The officers were able to arrest five men on charges of possession of dagga and dealing in drugs.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The arrests were made in the Marathon informal settlement, when officers, dressed in civilian clothing, came across a man who was smoking dagga.<\/p>\n

The officers convinced him to show them where he had bought the dagga.<\/p>

They were able to arrest the first man they had met on a charge of possession of dagga, while the second was arrested on charges of dagga possession and dealing in drugs, when a large amount of dagga was found in his home.<\/p>\n
