Tshwane Metro Police (TMPD) Drug Unit detained two citizens for dealing in drugs

Two Tanzanian citizens, aged 27 to 37, were detained by the Tshwane Metro Police (TMPD) Drug Unit on Tuesday, June 21, 2022, for drug distribution and possession in the Soshanguve neighborhood. The two suspects were discovered in possession of crack cocaine (rocks) and heroin (nyaope), both of which had an estimated street worth of more than R75 160.

Two individuals were detained as a result of an operation by TMPD Tactical members using criminal intelligence in the Atteridgeville region. Two locations were used to carry out the procedure. During the search of the first home, one female was discovered to be in possession of more than one hundred sachets of heroin (nyaope), crystal meth, and dagga.

A male suspect was discovered on the second floor of the building with nyaope and dagga sachets. For narcotics trading and possession, all accused were taken into custody. They’ll show up in court shortly.

Bravo to the participating teams! We kindly request that anyone with more details about these offences get in touch with the local SAPS or TMPD.
