Police spokesperson, Mohale Ramatseba, says the suspect was arrested after he tried to flee from the police when they were conducting search operations at a taxi rank in Hartswater. Ramatseba says when members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) approached a group of young men, they fled but the police managed to catch one, who was found in possession of heroin weighing 7,65g with an estimated street value of about R1 500. Ramatseba has since sent a stern warning against drug dealing and any acts of criminality.  

The suspect is expected to appear before the Hartswater Magistrate's Court on Monday.
