Members of the Germiston police task team mounted roving roadblocks in and around the city, to combat crime, last Sunday.<\/p>\n

At about 4.20pm they set up a roadblock on the M2 highway, at the Geldenhuys interchange.<\/p>

The members stopped a minibus and ordered the passengers to get out of the vehicle and searched them and the bus.<\/p>\n

One woman stayed inside the vehicle and when officers searched some bags, which she admitted belonged to her, they found seven rolls of dagga covered with brown paper.<\/p>

The 28-year-old woman was arrested by Const Thembelane Msweli, for possession and dealing in dagga, and was detained at the Germiston Police Station.<\/p>\n
