A joint operation by members of the Flying Squad and Crime Intelligence resulted in the seizure of 41 000 mandrax tablets in Kraaifontein today.
The team acted on intelligence received about a Volvo truck transporting drugs from Johannesburg to Cape Town. They spotted the truck and stopped it at a petrol station on the N1. A search was conducted, and police found two duffel bags containing mandrax tablets with an estimated street value of R2.05 million. A 44-year-old male was arrested for possession of drugs and dealing in drugs.
The suspect will make his first court appearance at the Kuilsriver Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 14 September 2026.
