Three of the eight people arrested in connection with a 100 million-Rand drug bust were released by a court Friday.

The remaining five suspects will apply for bail on Monday when their case resumes.

On Wednesday, Crime Intelligence officers raided two luxury homes in Bryanston and Douglasdale, north of Johannesburg.

They seized mandrax, chemicals and equipment allegedly used to manufacture drugs. Police spokesperson Vish Naidoo said two domestic workers and the gardener were released.

He said it could not be proved that the three suspects were involved in the manufacturing or distribution of drugs.
