On arrival, policed found the suspects packaging drugs for distribution. Police seized pure uncut cocaine, rock cocaine and ecstasy tablets with an estimated value of more than R250,000-00. The suspects aged 33 and 35 were immediately arrested for dealing in drugs and detained at the Westville police station for detention.
