Police working together with soldiers and traffic officers caught a man with dagga worth R2.2 million during a roadblock in the North West.

Johannesburg –

Colonel Adele Myburg, of the North West police, said officers were doing routine stop-and-searches at around 11am when a white Toyota Camry with Lesotho registration plates was pulled over. Myburg said the 34-year-old man, who was travelling alone, was arrested and charged with dealing in drugs. The provincial commissioner, Lieutenant-General Sello Kwena, lauded all members involved for their effort, saying that drug peddling – especially dagga – was becoming a real challenge in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District.
