Two individuals, including a Nigerian national, have been arrested in Makhaza, Khayelitsha on the Cape Flats for allegedly dealing in drugs.
Authorities say the arrests followed an intelligence-driven operation. Members of the Makhaza anti-hijacking team, working closely with Crime Intelligence, received a tip-off about premises that had recently received a drug delivery.
During a search at one location, officers uncovered quantities of tik and cocaine. A second search led to the arrest of a 55-year-old man after police discovered a large stash of drugs. The haul included 115 full mandrax tablets, six halves, seven quarters, and 42 packets of tik.
Police continue to intensify their operations in the area as part of ongoing efforts to curb drug-related crimes on the Cape Flats.
