WESTERN CAPE. – A trained dog sniffed out drugs hidden in children's toys during a drug search operation in Hazendal, Cape Town.
JP Smith, the City of Cape Town's mayoral committee member for safety and security, says officials received information on Sunday morning during a patrol in Hazendal about alleged drug dealing at a residence on 8th Avenue. The owner reportedly gave permission for police to search the property. The K9 dog, named Virus, was then used to search the property and indicated that something was amiss at a toy motor. Officials examined the toy and found a transparent packet containing 21 Mandrax tablets, a quarter of a Mandrax tablet and 15 packets of tik inside.
The suspect was taken into custody and taken to Athlone police station, where the drugs were submitted as evidence and registered.
