“They arrested two males aged 21 and 43 in a white VW Golf after confiscating two concealed boxes filled with four packets of heroin and a huge total of Mandrax tablets.

“Follow-up information led them to a storage facility in the Airport Industrial area where they found six more boxes containing more Mandrax tablets”, said police spokesperson Captain Frederick van Wyk.

In total they confiscated eight boxes containing about 53 500 Mandrax tablets and 1 kg of heroin with a street value of about 2,5 million Rand added van Wyk.
