In a significant drug bust this morning in Pretoria West, ten Nigerian nationals were apprehended by local law enforcement.
The operation, which resulted in the seizure of drugs valued at R500,000, underscores the ongoing struggle against drug trafficking in the region.
The arrests were part of a broader initiative by the Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD) to combat drug-related crimes, which have been a growing concern in the area.
Authorities acted on intelligence regarding suspicious activities, leading them to the suspects.
This incident follows a series of similar operations in recent weeks, where multiple arrests have been made, highlighting the persistent efforts of the TMPD to safeguard communities from the dangers of drug abuse.
Tshwane Mayor Randall Williams praised the police for their dedication and effectiveness in tackling these issues, reinforcing the message that law enforcement remains committed to protecting residents from the scourge of drugs.
As the investigation continues, the TMPD aims to dismantle networks involved in drug trafficking in the region, ensuring a safer environment for all.
