Pretoria - The South African Police Service (SAPS) in Brooklyn arrested a drug dealer with 249 rings of nyaope while they patrolled on foot.

On Tuesday, police officers were patrolling inside the Brooklyn Mall when they saw an unknown man that looked very nervous and suspicious.

Police officers are often counting on their sixth sense when combating crime. They decided to stop the man and to search him.





Inside his trousers pocket they found a ring (single packaging used for drugs) containing the drug nyaope.





The police officers proceeded to search his bag where they found 249 rings containing nyaope.





The 26-year-old man from Sunnyside was immediately arrested.

He will appear in the Hatfield Community Court on drug related charges soon.





Nyaope is illegal and contains heroin.
