South Africans must now double check their bread to make sure there are no drugs hidden in-between, after police found 105 mandrax tablets and 19,5 grams of chrystal meth hidden in slices of bread.
It’s a story that’s hard to swallow. Police spokesperson, Colonel Thandi Mbambo, from the Free State said the incident unfolded on Saturday, 3 July at 8pm when members of the Welkom Flying Squad, Warrant Officers David Mlangeni and Corrie Spies received information about a man in possession of drugs walking at Mannys Welkom.
“The members acted swiftly and identified the suspect. They approached him and requested to search him. Whilst busy with the search, 105 Mandrax tablets and 19,5 grams of Chrystal Meth with the street value of R 14 400-00 were found hidden between bread slices,” said Mbambo.
The man, aged 44 years old, was arrested for possession of drugs and is expected to appear at the Welkom Magistrate Court on Monday, 5 July.
