GEORGE NEWS - Members of the Southern Cape public order police (Pops) arrested a man after finding a substantial amount of dagga in his possession, in a container at a barbershop in Tabatha Street, Thembalethu, on Friday evening, 24 June.
The officers also approached the housing structure that is on the same premises, where they detected a strong dagga odour.
The smell led them to a bedroom in the house which they entered using force as the occupant refused them entry.
