Gwala said in another operation conducted Paulpietersburg police officers received information of a suspicious vehicle believed to be transporting large quantities of dagga.
Police officers followed up and the vehicle was spotted on the R33 between Paulpietersburg and Vryheid and a chase ensued. The police managed to intercept the vehicle and two suspects aged, 28 and 29, were arrested after they were found with 12 bags of dagga.
Gwala said the estimated street value of the dagga was R300 000. The suspects’ vehicle was taken to police pound for further investigation.
