According to police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi, on March 24 members of the Organised Crime Investigation Unit acted on information about a suspected drug lab at a lodge in Midrand.
“The members swiftly sprang into action and upon arrival, two rooms were searched, leading to the discovery of suspected cocaine rocks, crystal meth, ecstasy tablets, chemicals and laboratory apparatus,” said Nevhuhulwi.
