A 44-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman were arrested for allegedly contravening the Drug Trafficking Act.
The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) has arrested two suspects for the alleged possession of Crystal Meth following an intelligence-driven operation conducted in Ermelo on Sunday, July 19.
Reports reveal that at approximately 17:45, members of the Ermelo K9 Unit, working in collaboration with the Secunda Serious Organised Crime Investigation (SOCI) and the Secunda Serious Crime Investigation (SCI), acted on information received about a silver old-shape Mercedes-Benz sedan with two occupants travelling from Volksrust to Ermelo to collect drugs.
The information was operationalised along the N11 between Ermelo and Amersfoort. The identified vehicle was spotted travelling from Ermelo towards Amersfoort and was immediately stopped and searched.
