Police in Potchefstroom in North West arrested two suspects, aged 32 and 36 respectively, for dealing in dagga on Friday.

The suspects were arrested at about 10:30 by members of the Potchefstroom Flying Squad.

SAPS members were doing a routine patrol when they spotted a suspicious looking maroon Toyota Corolla on the R501 (Carletonville-Potchefstroom) road driving towards Potchefstroom.

The vehicle was followed and pulled over for a search. Upon searching the vehicle, the members discovered compressed dagga in the back seat as well as in the trunk of the car with estimated street value of R250 000.

The suspects were immediately arrested and their vehicle confiscated. They are expected to appear before the Potchefstroom Magistrates' Court on Tuesday (11 August 2020) on a charge of dealing in drugs.
