Cape Town cops raid Rastafarian dagga plantation
Cape Town – Police officers discovered a plot of towering dagga plants between shacks in a Rastafarian informal settlement in Cape Town on Thursday.
The Trio Crimes and Gangs Unit visited the Marcus Garvey community in Philippi on Thursday morning after a tip-off, Western Cape police spokesperson Constable Noloyiso Rwexana said on Friday.
Officers dug up and confiscated the plants - with a total estimated street value of R1.7m - between 05:30 and 10:00.
