Numerous stalls at the taxi rank were searched for the illegal possession or selling of drugs, stolen property, counterfeit/illicit brand name goods, general crime prevention, and stopping and searching vehicles and persons.
A 27-year-old female was arrested during the operation for the possession of Mandrax, with an estimated street value of R350, and 11 pokes of dagga with an estimated street value of R150 was found abandoned at the taxi rank.
