Metro Police continued their clamp down on gangs and drugs across Cape Town on Friday (26 May) with integrated operations resulting in several successes.
The team which consisted of Metro Police, Law Enforcement Specialised Units, the Law Enforcement Social Housing Unit and the Law Enforcement Vice and Liquor Unit, focussed on problem properties known for illicit activities in Parow, Ravensmead, Lavender Hill, Steenberg, Hanover Park and Manenberg.
Several properties in Parow were searched where officers found abandoned drugs and drug paraphernalia such as tik lollies hidden in ceilings.
A total of five premises were searched and 13 premises were checked by the Liquor and Vice units and nine of these premises were found closed. Many of the areas were quiet on Friday and while officers made one drug arrest, they found several drugs abandoned.
This includes one packet of tik, a packet of tik lollies, a dagga bankie, three parcels of dagga, two mandrax tablets and one dagga parcel filled half way.
