CT police confiscate consignment of drugs at Wynberg Magistrates Court's holding cells
CAPE TOWN - Cape Town police on Tuesday confiscated a consignment of drugs that was likely meant for inmates at a prison. Officers at the Wynberg Magistrates Court received an anonymous tip-off about the narcotics, and this led to a search of the court's holding cells. During the search, police found small quantities of dagga bullets, mandrax tablets, as well as tik. Police spokesperson Malcolm Pojie says the suspects will appear in the same court once charged. "The members also confiscated liquor which was concealed in small sanitiser bottles as well as Xanex tablets and a few packets of cigarettes. As a result of the discovery, the members arrested two male detainees, aged 25 and 38, for the possession of drugs."

Car crash, denials lead to Fairfield County drug bust
LANCASTER, Ohio (WCMH) – A Fairfield County single-vehicle crash resulted in an arrest and the seizure of a 'large quantity' of illegal narcotics. According to a Fairfield County Sheriff's Office affidavit, deputies responded to a reported crash at the intersection of Amanda-Northern and Alspach roads in Bloom Township.

Upon arrival, a woman was seen south of the crash site and was stopped by deputies.

Saunders then denied being the driver when it was discovered she did not have a valid license. A male occupant of the car, who remained at the scene, told deputies that he swerved off the road and hit a fence to avoid an oncoming car, and he said no one else was in the car with him. The man said he knew Saunders, but Saunders said she did not know the man. When Saunders, of Lancaster, reportedly told deputies she was on her way to visit a person that deputies believed to be a drug user who sold narcotics and also based on mixed statements from Saunders and the man, a K9 was deployed. The sheriff's office said the K9 unit's probable cause, free air sniff inspection of the crashed car resulted in a positive indication of possible drugs.
