FREE STATE – A woman (29) and man (32) are expected to appear today in the Odendaalsrus Magistrate’s Court on charges of dealing and possession of drugs.

On Wednesday, 15 January 2025, members attached to the Welkom Anti-Gang Unit received intelligence-led information about a couple alleged to be selling drugs to children in Nyakallong, Allanridge. Information was operationalised and led the members to the identified house in Nyakallong. As members were approaching the house, the couple was spotted outside the house. They tried to evade the police by running into the house. However, members swiftly reacted and managed to intercept the suspects in the bedroom before they could hide the drugs and money.

The police confiscated crystal meth, mandrax tablets and money.

The suspects were subsequently arrested and will appear today, 16 January 2025, in the Odendaalsrus Magistrate’s Court.
