WESTERN CAPE – Milnerton SAPS Crime Prevention members received information during the early hours of this morning regarding drugs at an apartment near a shopping mall in Milnerton.

The members reacted on the information given to them by their reliable source and secured success. On their arrival they found two males, aged 27 and 29 respectively, together with a young male aged 22.
