Two women from George have been arrested by members of the Port Elizabeth's Flying Squad for being in possession of prescription drugs.
Police spokesperson, Colonel Priscilla Naidu, says the members were acting on a tip-off when they arrested the women, aged 31 and 38, in the parking area at Livingstone Hospital.
She says upon searching the women, police found 6 000 Stilpane tablets and cash in their possession.
They are expected to appear in the Gelvandale Magistrate's Court on a charge under the Medicine Control Act.
Meanwhile, Naidu says 18 people were arrested in Nelson Mandela Bay for drug-related cases.
Police confiscated tik, mandrax, dagga and heroin.
