Western Cape Police arrested two suspects in Kuilsriver after they were found in possession of drugs worth R3 million.
According to police Captain Frederick C. van Wyk, officers attached to the Anti-Economic Crime Task Team received information of drug activity at a bed and breakfast situated in the Langverwacht area in Kuilsrivier at approximately 04:30 on Monday, 15 June 2026.
The officers reportedly acted swiftly on the information and, upon arrival at the identified address, found a male matching the suspect’s description and a female in the room.
“A white VW Polo vehicle was parked in front of their room. When members looked through the vehicle’s window, a big black bag was seen on the back seat of the vehicle,” added Van Wyk
The officers searched the vehicle and found a large amount of mandrax tablets and other bags containing more mandrax tablets and crystal meth.
Fifty-one bags containing mandrax tablets, five kilograms of crystal methamphetamine with an estimated street value of R3 000 000.00 and R17 000.00 in cash, believed to be the proceeds of crime, were confiscated.
