Cape Town - Three men were arrested after they were found in
possession of dagga outside Beaufort West on Wednesday morning, Western Cape
police said.
Police stopped and searched their VW Polo at a roadblock on
the N1 when they noticed it had no number plates, spokesperson Captain Malcolm
Pojie said.
They found a bag wrapped with tape between the legs of the
passenger sitting next to the driver. Other bags, covered with a blanket, were
on the back seat and in the boot. All of them contained dagga weighing about
140kg, with an estimated street value of R140 000.
The men, from Gugulethu, Cape Town, and aged between 33 and
48, were expected to appear in the Beaufort West Magistrate's Court soon.
