CARNARVON – Polisielede het gister voertuie by ‘n padblokkade op Carnarvon deursoek. ‘n Verdagte minibus is opgemerk ná hy skielik probeer het om ‘n alternatiewe roete na Brandvlei te neem. Die polisie het die bus vinnig agternagesit.
Die polisie het die minibus en sy waentjie deursoek en op dagga ter waarde van R308 000 afgekom. Die busdrywer het tevergeefs probeer om die polisielede om te koop om hom en die ses ander nié vir die 14 sakke dagga te arresteer nie. De polisie het egter net nóg ‘n klag teen die drywer gelê.
Al sewe verdagtes is vir dwelmhandel in hegtenis geneem en verskyn volgens brigadier Mohale Ramatseba, polisiewoordvoerder, binnekort in die plaaslike landdroshof.
