The SA Police will only be able to give an estimated street value later today of the drugs found at a ‘tik’ farm that was raided this morning in Brakpan in Johannesburg.

In a statement police say they arrested two suspects at the drug factory on the farm.

Police called it a huge factory that seems to have been established by Nigerians.

According to information, two other suspects have escaped and are on the run.

The police’s Tumi Golding says they established that all the equipment to produce tik, were found.

This include compressors and processing machines.

Meanwhile another two police officers will join several members of a drug syndicate in court today.

They were part of a drug syndicate arrested this week. The charges against them are drug possession and drug dealing.

Earlier this week national police commissioner Bheki Cele told the media of an operation involving 297 police officers and 17 SA Revenue Service officials in Gauteng and North West.
