Gauteng police have arrested nine people, including two women after they raided what they said was a drug “super lab” being operated from a dilapidated building in Krugersdorp.
Colonel Katlego Mogale said the arrests followed an intelligence-driven operation where members of the Serious Organised Crime Investigation team descended on the property on Pulley Street in Boltonia in Krugersdorp West.
She said they found large quantities of chemicals used to produce “methamphetamine”.
Mogale said the arrested suspects will make their first appearance in the Krugersdorp Magistrates Court on Wednesday, on charges of manufacturing illicit drugs.
The Provincial Head of the Hawks in Gauteng, Major-General Ebrahim Kadwa, lauded the sterling work of the team and encouraged them to aim for the kingpins.
