Who is keeping track of all these seizures…. pounds and pounds of cannabis with no owners, no one being charge and taken before the court? Seized and taken to police headquarters for further investigations. I can’t help but wonder, does this fairy tale has any ending?
Bullshit! If you people are serious about catching the ones responsible bringing the drugs allow them to come and collect it then arrest them. AH U DUNCE LAKKA B A T (BAT)
Stupid Bunch of Asses
How much longer are the authorities going to tolerate this incompetence
It’s just ganja man. Maybe spend more time / energy fixing roads and critical infrastructure…
