A man found with cocaine, dagga and ecstasy in his car was arrested in Beach Road, Sea Point after he was pointed out to police by member of the community.
Police were patrolling the area on Monday July 11 when they got the tip-off. The man, in a white car, drove off when police approached him, but the cops managed to stop the VW Polo and when they searched it, found the drugs.
The 37-year old man was arrested and charged with dealing in drugs as well as resisting arrest.
Sea Point SAPS station commander Colonel Helena Mouton said the partnership between the SAPS Sea Point and community “has once again proven that team work leads to success in combating crime in the area”.
