Gauteng police have arrested a 49-year-old man who was allegedly selling dagga cookies, cakes and lollipops at a shop in Johannesburg.

Police Spokesperson Captain Xoli Mbele says police received a tip-off from a community member and responded swiftly to the shop in Mayfair.

He says police confiscated the dagga which was displayed in glass containers.

Mbele says the sweets were selling for R130 each and the dagga cakes for R140.

The suspect is expected to appear in court later this week.
