Peters warned individuals committing such crimes to cease and desist.

“We want to say to members of the public, who are hell-bent on criminality, that our intelligence network is working and we are going to continuously see results like these,” he said.

“So, you are given a forewarning to desist and discontinue your behavior of criminality and we are well aware that there are residual effects of drug peddling in the community.”
