Members of the Port Elizabeth flying squad have seized 2 million rands worth of Mandrax tablets and arrested a 47 year old man from Kwazakhele.
Police spokesperson, colonel Priscilla Naidu, says that around 9.30 on Monday night, flying squad members followed a green Ford Figo in Zwide.
On stopping and searching the vehicle, they found 40 packets containing a total of 41 000 mandrax tablets with an estimated street value of R2 million.
Naidu says the suspect was also in possession of a substantial amount of cash and allegedly tried to offer constables Severiano Blundin and Siphulele Msindwana a bribe of R100 000.
Naidu says the suspect was detained on charges of bribery and dealing and possession of drugs. He is expected to appear in court soon. The vehicle, which was a rental, was also confiscated.
Naidu praised the officers for their conduct and urged the public to continue the fight against drugs and crime.
