Media Statement Last night, on 22 January 2025, the Gauteng Anti-Gang Unit (AGU) conducted a routine patrol in the Coronationville area when they observed two male individuals exhibiting suspicious behaviour. Upon noticing the AGU members approaching, the individuals attempted to distance themselves by walking towards the Slovo Squatter Camp. Demonstrating commendable vigilance, AGU members followed the suspects, who ultimately entered a nearby shack. The members identified themselves and requested permission to search, which was granted by the individuals. The search yielded significant results, as one of the suspects was found in possession of 30 halves of mandrax tablets, while the second suspect had three zip lock bags containing substances suspected to be crystal meth. In accordance with the Criminal Procedure Act, Act 51 of 1977, the AGU members seized the exhibits and informed the duo, aged 20 and 55, of their arrest for possession of drugs. The suspects were transported to the nearest police station, where they were detained for the charges of possession of drugs. They are expected to appear before the respective court soon. Ends
