Suspect arrested while allegedly selling dagga to school children.
Police officers involved in social crime prevention have arrested a 29-year-old man outside a school in Lamontville, south of Durban, for allegedly selling dagga to children.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says the operation was planned following a tip-off from the public.
“During the operation, the suspect was found in a room near the high school, in possession of dagga, with ten pupils present—eight of whom were girls.”
Netshiunda adds: “With police officers prioritising the future of the children and the ongoing final examinations, learners were given a stern warning in the presence of their parents before they were released.”
The suspect is scheduled to appear in the Wentworth Magistrate’s Court on a charge of dealing in drugs.
