Up in smoke! Police bust dagga worth millions this weekend
Police found a sophisticated dagga plantation in George while KZN cops chased after a vehicle which
transported more than 300kg of dagga.
By Rorisang Kgosana
A three-month police operation has finally busted a sophisticated dagga plantation in the Western
Cape. Another police chase also finds hundreds of kilograms of dagga in KwaZulu-Natal at the
weekend.
OVER R1 MILLION WORTH OF DAGGA UNCOVERED
The police concluded a three-month investigation on a dagga plantation on Friday. This probe started in June
after a tip-off on illicit activities at a house in George.
In an effort to eradicate the selling and distribution of drugs, the police finally pounced on the premises on
Friday, 2 September.
The police team comprised of the Western Cape Organised Crime Investigators from the narcotics section,
the Garden Route District Intelligence and George Crime Prevention Unit. Armed with a search warrant, they
descended on the premises at Stemmet Street in Blanco.
There they discovered an indoor dagga cultivation laboratory where dagga of high quality was cultivated,
police spokesperson Sergeant Christopher Spies said.
Police found drugs and cultivating equipment with an estimated street value of R1.1 million, he said.
“They confiscated 38 dagga trees, numerous containers and parcels of dried dagga.
Cultivating equipment as well as two cellphones were found on the premises. The occupant of the premises
was subsequently arrested on charges of cultivating and dealing drugs.” Sergeant Christopher Spies
ANOTHER WEED BUST IN KZN AT THE WEEKEND
But on Saturday, police traced a vehicle which was transporting dagga in KwaZulu-Natal.
