When members of the Hawks pulled over what just seemed like a man on his way home from work on the corner of Rivonia Road and Kelvin Drive in Sandton, they did not expect to find R700 000 of crystal meth in his workbag on Thursday afternoon .
The 38-year-old Tanzanian national – known as Roderick Benedict Assey – had been speeding in his white Hyundai Sedan, when he came across the radar of police officers who were actually stationed out there on a different observation assignment. Alerted to the suspicious behaviour, the Hawks officers flagged him down. The vehicle was thereafter searched. It was under the front seat of the vehicle that police found two lunchboxes in Assey’s workbag backpack. Police said that both containers were wrapped with tape.
They retrieved the lunchboxes and broke open the tape, which revealed a powder-like substance that was eventually found to be crystal meth.Assey – who lived in a complex on Delaray Street – was immediately arrested and charged with drug dealing. Assey appeared in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Friday, 11 November 2022.
