Two men were arrested in connection with a West Rand drug syndicate.

Two men were arrested and appeared in court in Krugersdorp on Friday 25 October after being linked to one of the biggest drug syndicates on the West Rand.

According to spokesperson for the Hawks, Captain Paul Ramaloko, the men aged 68 and 25 respectively were arrested on Thursday 24 October for producing Mandrax in a house in Boltonia.
