THREE people suspected of dealing in drugs were arrested on Wednesday by Limpopo police.
The suspects aged 24, 25 and 39 years, were found in possession of nyaope, cat and half-moon rock valued at R35 000.
The police also confiscated R3 200 in cash and 10 cellphones from the suspects’ house in Ivy Park, Polokwane.
According to Limpopo police spokeswoman Colonel Ronel Otto, the police made a breakthrough following the links that led them to the house.
“The arrest was made after we followed up information about the suspicious activities taking place in the house in Ivy Park, where the suspects were found,” said Otto.
They are all Nigerians.
“Members of the provincial crime intelligence drug unit, together with members of the tactical reaction team, and Westenburg visible policing members arrested the three suspected drug dealers.
“The police are working with the department of home affairs to determine whether the suspects are in the country legally,” she said.
The three suspects are expected to appear in the Polokwane Magistrates Court today on charges of dealing and possession of drugs.
