The Limpopo police crime intelligence cluster coordination narcotics task team and provincial organised crime unit gathered intelligence on suspected illegal activities at the residence, and an operation was executed.

When searching the property, police found 26 bags each containing 100g of CAT, five bags each with 50 Mandrax tablets and three bags each containing 100g of crystal meth, said police spokesperson Col Malesela Ledwaba.
