The Primrose police are urging the community to know exactly what is going on at properties they are renting out.<\/p>\n
The warning comes on the heels of an intensive four-month operation by police.<\/p>
\u201cDuring the operation we identified certain houses in the area that are being used as drug houses,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have identified six houses in the Primrose Sector Two area, five houses in the Primrose Sector Three area and two houses in Primrose Sector One.<\/p>
\u201cWe have collected enough information and the station will start to hand out notices to the owner that their houses will be forfeited to the State.<\/p>\n
\u201cProperties are expensive, therefore we are sending a friendly warning to our community, as they may lose their property because of drugs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Should anyone know of any house which is being used for drug dealing, they are urged to phone the station commander, Col Mduduzi Khuzwayo, on 082 778 3539.<\/p>\n
He will treat every call confidentially and address the complaints in a serious light.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also identified some houses that are used as brothels,\u201d continued Maome.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appeal to the licensed businesses to work hand-in-hand with the police, to eliminate immoral activities from their premises, as these may land them in trouble.”<\/p>\n
The community is also warned that those selling liquor without licence in our area will be raided.<\/p>\n
Police will confiscate any item\/equipment that is used to promote or used as amusement\/entertainment in these illegal establishments.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have already raided some of these homes and have information about new taverns in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have arrested many people in the past and we are going to double the numbers this time around,\u201d added Maome.<\/p>\n
