“The police received information about suspected drug dealing in the area and proceeded to the identified location in Roodepoort, not far from two local schools.

 

“The members conducted a search of the premises and recovered various types of narcotics which include hydrophonic dagga, dagga trees and edible narcotics. Furthermore, a crocodile was also found on the premises. SPCA was called to handle the reptile,” says Masondo.

 

Police also recovered two toy guns.
