The accused, Conna Victor Edwards (22) of Button Complex,
Avondale, was yesterday arraigned before magistrate Dennis Mangosi and charged
with unlawfully dealing in dangerous drugs and unlawful possession of a
firearm.
Allegations are that on November 11, 2022, detectives from
CID drugs and narcotics received information to the effect that Edwards was
selling dagga. The detectives then posed as potential buyers and made an order
through the phone.
In the evening, the detectives went to Edwards’ house to
collect the order. Edwards opened the
gate and gave the detectives four sachets of dagga, leading to his arrest.
Edwards’ house was searched and more drugs were
uncovered. Police also found a Browning
12 Gauge shotgun with 13 live rounds in his wardrobe. He failed to produce a valid firearm
certificate.
He will be sentenced today.
