POLOKWANE – The two foreign nationals who were arrested on Thursday, 16 February for selling drugs to learners at Florah Park Dam are expected to appear in Polokwane and Botlokwa magistrate courts today, 20 February 2023.
A 41-year-old Nigerian was allegedly selling drugs to learners of Northern Academy Secondary and Florah Park Secondary schools which are adjacent to Florah Park Dam.
The information was immediately operationalized and a sting operation was conducted at the said Dam.
The suspect was subsequently found sitting in a white Nissan Almera sedan.
Police requested to search his motor vehicle and found 500 balls of heroin with an estimated street value of R20.000 concealed inside the dashboard.
Another Nigerian aged 44 was nabbed along the N1 north next to Botlokwa just after he allegedly received the heroin drugs from the first suspect at Flora Park dam meant for further distribution.
