Five 14-year-old high school pupils were arrested on Tuesday in Lenasia South for allegedly owning a dagga plantation and dealing in the drug, Gauteng police said.
The eight square metre plantation was discovered when a boy reported to the police after smelling dagga in the area, Lieutenant-Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said.
After being questioned, the boy led the police to the plantation where they found the four boys and arrested them.
“Some of the dagga plants were already picked up and dried. More schoolboys might have been involved.
“It is suspected that they were smoking it and a possibility that they were also selling it to other school children may not be ruled out,” Dlamini said.
The boys would be released to their parents. - Sapa
