AFTER residents saw a chicken behaving strangely, they called the cops who found dagga in the chicken run!
Phumeza Mzinzi (36) from Dwesi extension Kasi in the Eastern Cape said they were shocked to see the chicken standing on one leg in the middle of the road with its eyes closed on Sunday afternoon.
“Before we could take out our cellphones to record the strange behavior, the chicken ran back to its home,” said Phumeza.
“I was surprised to see the police at the chicken run, but then they came out with bags of dagga, and the woman living there was arrested.”
Thobani Soze (23) said: “We can now see why the poor chicken was acting strangely. It was high on dagga.”
Police spokesman, Captain Malebo Khosana confirmed the arrest and said the chicken was found inside a shelter where dagga was hidden.
“A 44-year-old woman who claimed the place belonged to her sister in the Eastern Cape was arrested after the dagga was found in the chicken run.”
“Our members went on to search her bedroom and found a plastic basin containing loose dagga and envelopes filled with dagga.
“The dagga weighed about 1,6kg in total and its believed to have a street value of around R1 664.
The woman will appear in the Kariga Magistrates Court soon.”
Kemish Police Station Colonel Paul Solo said the arrest indicated members were willing to act on any information received by law-abiding residents.
“This will assist us and the community in reducing the space there is for criminals and their evil activities,” he said.
