In one of the arrests, the police raided a drug laboratory in the west of Pretoria.

The Tshwane west policing cluster crime intelligence services and Trio Crime units conducted an intelligence-driven operation in Olievenhoutbosch on Tuesday.

Three men, aged between 29 and 23, were arrested during the operation, according to police spokesperson Captain Augistinah Selepe.
