R1.6m cash, drugs, firearms found at Glenashley home
Police have caught two suspected dealers and seized drugs worth R1.6 million in a bust in Glenashley in Durban North.
A sheriff with an attachment order had gone to a property on Laughton Drive on Wednesday.
The official alerted the police when the occupants refused to open the gate and began loading bags into a vehicle.
KZN police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says the suspects were found in possession of a substance, believed to be cocaine, pink crystals, firearms and a large amount of cash.
