A Greytown police constable and a suspected drug dealer are due to make their second appearance before a magistrate, this week.
According to the SAPS, 43-year-old Cosmos Eke was taken into custody at his home, also in Greytown, earlier this month.
There, police seized 42 bags of cocaine powder, rock cocaine and a scale - among other things.
"A variety of foreign currency were found inside the house as well as cash suspected to be the proceeds of drugs. The estimated street value of the recovered drugs is R20 000-00," says spokesperson Nqobile Gwala.
Gwala says officers also pounced on one of their own.
