Police on mobile patrol, on Friday evening, discovered over 22 kilograms of ganja in the vicinity of the ‘Cabbage Factory’ koker near the Rosignol Stelling, Region Five.
Based on the information received, the Police were conducting their duties when they observed two unidentifiable men walking around the ‘Cabbage Factory’ koker.
Upon seeing the Police, the men ran in different directions and escaped into the bushes. As such, a search was conducted in the area during which an aluminium boat along with a 15-horsepower outboard engine was found.
A further search of the boat unearthed five parcels of cannabis wrapped in transparent plastic. The cannabis, boat, and engine were confiscated and lodged at the Blairmont Police Station.
At the station, the ganja was weighed and amounted to 22,700 grams (50 lbs). Investigations are ongoing.
