A dom drug delivery man is behind bars after he escaped from cops on Monday night but then brazenly returned to the scene to collect his parcels of dagga worth R15 000.
Grassy Park station commander,
Colonel Dawood Laing, says the 26-year-old man thought he was slim but says cops outsmarted him by
making him believe he’d escaped.
Laing says shortly before 7pm on Monday, officers conducting routine patrols spotted a silver Mercedes-Benz in Acacia Road, but when the driver saw the marked police vehicle, he sped away.
“They chased after him towards Cynthia Road where they observed him throwing a bag out of the car,” says the cop.
“His vehicle came to a stop and he jumped out of the vehicle and he ran away and went to hide in someone’s yard.”
Laing says clever cops suspected he would be back for his stash, so they pretended to drive away from the scene.

To their surprise, the dom mert returned a few minutes later, picked up his drugs and got in his Mercedes and drove away.
“The officers kept watching him the entire time and pulled him off in Klip Road,” says Laing.
“He got a big skrik when he realised they were watching him.
“They searched his car and found a bag filled with parcels of compressed high-grade dagga worth R15 000.
“He was taken to the station where it was established that he is not from the precinct and it is unknown who he was delivering the drugs to.”
STASH: R15 000 dagga.
The man was charged with drug dealing and will appear in the Wynberg Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, while his family came to fetch is larney Merc.
Over the weekend, Grassy Park cops also arrested a dom mert who tried to sell them drugs in Lotus River.
The man, who is believed to smokkel for the Six Bobs gang, was caught with more than R3000 worth of tik and mandrax after he approached an unmarked police car and tried to sell to them.
