He says large quantities of heroin, rock cocaine and mandrax were seized.

"These two suspects were arrested after an operation was conducted by various officers from the drug unit in the province. They went to Golden Poppy Street on Sunday where they searched a house with a search warrant," he said.

Zwane says the duo were then arrested after being found in possession of drugs worth over R1.3-million.
