Cops swoop on R3-million dagga stash

Dagga worth an estimated R3-million was seized at a house at Cape Town’s Mfuleni area, Western Cape police said on Monday.

Detectives visited the house, situated at Ngogoshe Street at Mfuleni Extension 4, at about 8pm on Sunday after a tip-off by a member of the public, Inspector Bernadine Steyn said.

In the backyard, police found 14 bags, 77 parcels and three drums full of dagga.

A case of dealing in dagga was being investigated, Steyn said, adding that nobody had been arrested. — Sapa
