The commitment of Philippi SAPS members to a drug free society has led to the arrest of a 25-year-old female at Lansport Road, Hanover Park this morning, 14 November 2022. The suspect was arrested following a tip off that was received at approximately 09:30. Philippi police responded hastily and searched the suspects who had heroine worth R3000 in her possession.

She was arrested for possession of drugs and will appear in the Athlone Magistrate’s court, once she has been charged.
