And here we were thinking that Pinelands was where all them old folk relocated to enjoy afternoon lawn bowls and evening bridge, pausing only to retell stories from their youth.
A home in the sleepy suburb was raided yesterday, the police finding 730 grams with a street value of R500 000. eNCA dishes the dirt:
“One suspect was arrested in Pinelands, but officers later arrested his brother in Strand when K9 Officer ‘Ace’ sniffed out 10 grams of Tik and nearly R3,000 in cash at a house in Nomzamo,” said the city’s mayoral committee member for safety and security JP Smith.
“It was later discovered that the second suspect has a pending case of drug smuggling against him after being caught at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.”
It seems that the silly season is also just that for drug dealers, the thirst becoming very real:
“The festive season is a busy time for drug dealers, so these types of successes are all in a day’s work. I want to commend the officers for the good work and also the members of the public who make the effort to provide us with tip-offs,” Smith said.
All hope is not lost Pinelands, I find lawn bowls can be spiced up with a few Tanqueray and Tonics and bridge by placing a decent wager on the outcome.
