Mpumalanga cops nab suspect for possession of dagga worth R1.7m
A 29-year-old man has been arrested in Mpumalanga for drug possession after he was busted with 114kg of dagga worth an estimated R1 710 000 street value.
Police in Malelane acted on a tip-off that led them to a vehicle that was hidden in a sugarcane farm about two kilometres out of town on Thursday.
“Only the driver was found in the vehicle and upon searching the vehicle, bags with different name tags on them stuffed with dagga were recovered,” said police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala.
The suspect, Ntando Ntimane, was arrested and made a brief court appearance in Nkomazi Magistrate's court sitting in Tonga on the same day and was granted R1 000 bail.
Ntimane is expected to make his second court appearance on the 3rd of next month.
