The bust came on Saturday afternoon‚ when “members of Muizenberg SAPS‚ under the command of Captain Stephen Knapp‚ responded to a tip-off from the community regarding the possible sale and storage of a large amount of cannibas in Seawinds”.
Police obtained a warrant to search the St Patricks Avenue residence — “which serves as an unregistered crèche” — and “dagga was discovered under the built-in cupboards in the kitchen”.
“The owner of the residence‚ a 56-year-old male‚ was present during the search and the police confiscated a total of 36 parcels of dagga‚ 28 bankies and 22 sticks of dagga.
“The owner was subsequently arrested and charged for dealing in narcotics.
“The location of these illegal substances at a crèche is alarming and this information will be forwarded to the Department of Social Development.”
