Five men were arrested in two separate drug operations conducted by the police and the anti-stock theft unit in Gibeon last weekend.

Three men were arrested at about 14:10 on Sunday at Frank Basson Location following a police-led intelligence operation targeting a suspected drug syndicate operating in the area.

Police said the suspects were arrested for dealing in and possessing dependence-producing substances. Drugs valued at N$47 860 were seized.

In a separate operation at about 17:00 at the Lukas Stefanus section of Gibeon, two more men were arrested for allegedly dealing in prohibited dependence-producing substances.

Drugs valued at N$690 were seized.

All five suspects remain in custody at the Gibeon Police Holding Cells and are expected to appear before the Mariental Magistrate’s Court today.
