Hawks spokesperson Captain Simphiwe Mhlongo said the empty capsules were valued at more than R650,000.
Several boxes containing thousands of capsules apparently meant to be used for heroin were discovered in Pinetown, outside Durban, the Hawks have said.
In a separate incident, the Durban Hawks’ South African Narcotics Enforcement Bureau arrested a 37-year-old suspected drug dealer at the Golden Green Gardens flats in Phoenix.“The identified premises were searched resulting in quantities of cocaine powder, crack and cash being confiscated,” Mhlongo added.For more news your way, download The Citizen’s app for
