A new drug called pink cocaine – has been reported in South Africa.
According to reports, the new drug craze is called “Tusi”.
Police officers discovered packs of the new drug, also known as “Pink Cocaine,” following a tip-off from residents.
A report by eNCA said police spokesperson Colonel Dawood Laing, police executed the search warrant at the weekend where they busted the 28-year-old man found with ten packs of the pink powder and R500 cash.
“We found these 10 packets with a bright pink powder-like substance, and on further investigation and questioning, we were told that this is Pink Cocaine, also known as Tusi.
“It apparently comes from Spain, but as far as I know, this is the first time it has been found in Cape Town.”
He furthermore said investigations have revealed that the packets are sold for between R800 and R1000 each.
Laing added that police suspect that this is targeted at people who already use cocaine, and this is a more potent form so they can reach their highs.
