Police say a self-confessed drug dealing mother from Parkwood is in the mang after she was caught with more than R50 000 worth of drugs on Friday.
They say while searching the woman’s home in
Viljoen Walk on Friday morning, she proudly told officers the large amount of tik and heroin found in a cupboard belonged to her and she would “ staan vir haar ding”.
Station commander,
Colonel Dawood Laing, says officers embarked on a
series of drug raids after tip-offs from residents about smokkeling in the area.
He says officers executed a search warrant at the 52-year-old woman’s home in Viljoen Walk shortly after 11am.
FOUND: Tik and heroin discovered at the Parkwood house
“We received information that the occupants of the house were selling various drugs from the property,” says Laing.
“When we arrived, she was at the house and while an officer was searching her son’s cupboard, which is in her room, they discovered a large bag of drugs.
“She was questioned about where the drugs came from and officers even enquired if it belonged to her son because it was between her clothes, but she said it’s her drugs and she will ‘stand for her ding’.”
Laing says officers found 595 heroin straws, four 100g packets of raw heroin and 40 units of tik worth over R50 000.
In addition they found packets and other equipment used to package the drugs in Tupperware bakkies.
The merting mom was arrested for drug dealing and will appear in the Wynberg Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

Laing says officers raided two more properties in Lotus River where they arrested two men for drug dealing.
“We executed a search warrant at a house in Rietbok Street where we arrested a 23-year-old merchant found with 12 units of tik, four mandrax tablets, four half mandrax tablets and over R3000 in cash.
“Then in Duiker Avenue, we arrested another 23-year-old man who was found with six packets of tik, six half mandrax tablets, a parcel of dagga and 17 dagga stoppe.
“All of this was made
possible by residents who are starting to piemp the
merchants and we thank them for helping us to get drugs off the streets.”
