He said despite the recent advocacy for the legalisation of cannabis should not create a false sense of security among the users of the illicit drug.<br \/>\n\u201cIt is still against the law for people to have dagga in their possession or to grow the plants at their homes. If we find people that have dagga on them or growing they will be arrested and prosecuted and the police will keep on doing their job until such time that the law is changed,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nThe drug law enforcement division n their relentless fight against the prevalence of drugs in communities arrested the 26-year-old Shawn Smetleng at his place of residence at the plots on the Swakop River.<br \/>\nThe suspect was charged with the possession illicit drugs after police found 13 dagga plants weighing about 30 grams in his house on Friday.<br \/>\nThe drug law enforcement division also arrested the 18-year-old Juandre Gilmore when he was found with dagga and mandrax in his possession in the Narraville neighbourhood of Walvis Bay<br \/>\nAccording to a report by the Erongo Police the suspect had one crushed mandrax tablet, eight halves of the dangerous mandrax tablets and ten bankies of dagga in his possession when he was accosted by the officers on Saturday. The combined value of the illicit drugs found in the suspect\u2019s possession is estimated to be N$600.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-266027\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Paratus2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photos: Courtesy of the Erongo Police.
