Police Spokesperson, Joseph Swartbooi, says they executed a search warrant at a premise in Mangaung.
“Driven by adrenaline, they took time ensure that they do not miss anything which might seem to be irrelevant. One of the members noticed a bag behind the fridge, which drew his attention. They opened the bag in the presence of the home owner and recovered a quantity of methamphetamine,” says Swartbooi.
He says the suspects will appear in court soon.
