The Hawks have on Monday morning arrested seven suspects in Potchefstroom, North West as well as Eldorado Park in Johannesburg for dealing in drugs.
The suspects, six men and one woman, were nabbed during an early morning raid in the two townships. The Hawks have been monitoring the dealings of the seven suspects for a while and transactions worth over R350 000 have been validated.
Five suspects, who are mainly distributors, were arrested in Eldorado Park while the other two were arrested in Ikageng, Potchefstroom where they were well-known dealers. One of the suspects is out on parole for another drug-related case. During the raid, a further R6000 worth of mandrax was confiscated.
The suspects, aged between 19 and 50, will appear before the Eldorado Park and Potchefstroom Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, facing charges of dealing in drugs.
