The SAPS in the Frances Baard District has made a significant bust in the fight against drug dealing.

On Monday, September 8, a 43-year-old foreign national was arrested in an intelligence-driven operation in De Beershoogte, Barkly West.

During a search warrant execution, police recovered and confiscated dagga with an estimated street value of R21,500 and a substantial amount of money believed to be proceeds of crime.

The man is expected to appear in court soon on charges of possession of dagga.

The Frances Baard District management commended the members for their efforts in removing drugs from the streets and apprehending the suspect.
