“Members used an unmarked vehicle to follow up the information, spotted the vehicle fitting the description and upon searching the vehicle, found the tik.”

“A preliminary investigation has revealed that the motor vehicle was unroadworthy. The four suspects, aged between 29 and 36, are due to appear [in] the Humansdorp Magistrate’s Court [on Tuesday] on charges of possession of crystal methamphetamine (tik),” said Nkohli.

Humansdorp cluster commander, Brigadier John Lebok, said he was pleased to see that some residents were working with the police to fight the proliferation of drugs.
