In an intelligence-driven operation, Anti-Gang Unit members armed with a search warrant descended on a place of residence in Gugulethu where they seized two firearms with ammunition and an assortment of large quantities of drugs worth just over a million rands on Wednesday afternoon.
The police contingent comprising AGU detectives, intelligence operatives and the combat team pounced on the premises in NY 155 on Wednesday, at 16:40 and discovered the following:
• 28 000 X mandrax tablets with an estimated value of R840 000-00

• 0, 63 grams X Crack Cocaine (Rock) with an estimated street value of R500-00
• Two 9mm firearms with rounds of ammunition
The combined estimated value of the consignment of drugs is R1 040 800.
The suspects aged 28 and 32 will appear in court soon on charges of possession of drugs and illegal firearms and ammunition.
The efforts of the team of police are commended by SAPS management as police continue to deal with illegal firearms and drugs that generate serious violent crimes.
