The Hawk's Katlego Mogale says the clandestine lab on Pulley Street was operating on an industrial scale and manufacturing narcotics said to be worth millions of rands.
"The discovery of the drug lab was subsequent to allegations that surfaced about the operation thereof.
“The members of the Serious Organized Crime Investigation team descended upon the dilapidated factory where they found an assortment of methamphetamine-producing chemicals in large quantities."
The suspects will face charges related to the manufacturing of illicit drugs.
