"Yesterday, an intelligence-driven joint operation was conducted together with the Provincial Organised Crime Unit, K9 Currency Unit and Crime Intelligence which resulted in police officers pouncing on the suspects on Birdhurst Road," Gwala said. "On arrival, police found the suspects packaging drugs for distribution. Police seized pure uncut cocaine, rock cocaine and ecstasy tablets with an estimated value of more than R250 000. The suspects aged 33 and 35 were immediately arrested for dealing in drugs and detained at the Westville police station for detention."
