An operation carried out by members of the DPCI (Hawks) resulted in the arrest of three female suspects for being in possession of a large quantity of drugs.

Information received from the local community initiated an investigation of the activities of the suspects aged 70, 50 and 44 respectively.

It is suspected that they operated a drug outlet from their residence in Mansfield Road, Ottery.

"During the operation, 20 000 Mandrax tablets, Cocaine and 1 kg Tik to the tune of
R 2 million were confiscated, which is deemed a considerable blow to the drug market," said police spokesperson Frederick van Wyk.

The suspects are being detained on a charge of dealing in drugs and are due to make a court appearance in Wynberg on Monday.
