Port Alfred K9 unit members arrested three people who were found in possession of 14 000 mandrax tablets with a street value of R840 000.
Police said that members were on patrol on the R72 early on Sunday morning when a vehicle travelling towards East London passed them at high speed.
“The members turned around and started to chase the vehicle and managed to pull the vehicle over a few kilometres outside Port Alfred,” said Captain Mali Govender.
During the search of the vehicle, police found a bag containing the drugs.
Three men, aged 24, 33, 35, were arrested and are due to appear in court soon.
