I want to express my gratitude towards the community who are working in partnership with the police. Police have adopted a zero-tolerance approach to the proliferation of drugs in society.
The use of drugs is a generator towards other crimes. To report any illicit drug activity contact the EIS Operational Command Centre Commander Colonel Trevor Small on 0798899613 alternatively call SAPS Crime Stop on 0860010111.
