MAN HELD AFTER SALE OF 'MEDICINE MUFFINS'

A man selling muffins allegedly laced with dagga was arrested in
Philippi during a police anti-crime operation on trains on Thursday.

The man, believed to be a regular Philippi trader, was apparently
carrying about 15 muffins that contained a mixture including dagga and
flour.

The man, who swore at the police claiming that his human rights were
being violated, was one of hundreds of train commuters and vendors on
stations in Philippi and Nolungile who were surprised by the police
action on Thursday morning.

Police, Metrorail security guards and the neighbourhood watch held the
blitz to ensure the safety of commuters on trains.

The Rastafarian man claimed the muffins were medicine and that
everybody was buying them.
