Three men are expected to appear in the Amanzimtoti Magistrate’s Court today (July 29) after they were arrested by the police’s provincial Drugs and Firearms Unit in Kingsburgh yesterday (July 28) for allegedly being in possession of drugs worth over R1m, reports South Coast Sun.

Police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Paul Magwaza, said the suspects were busted during an intelligence-driven operation and were allegedly processing, packaging and selling rock cocaine from an apartment in a holiday resort.

“Police officers identified the exact apartment in which the targets were suspected to be in, and they tactically moved towards the rooms. They knocked and announced themselves as police officers. When they entered the apartment, they found the suspects packing drugs,” said Magwaza.

He added that one of the suspects attempted to flee but was quickly apprehended.

After a further search, the police found two sealing machines and a scale. The drugs were confiscated and will be used as evidence.
