R2m drug bust at flat in Durban central
Police say they are following up on several leads in the Durban CBD following a massive drug bust this week.
Law enforcement teams seized drugs with a street value of R2 million from a flat on Tuesday night.
There was no sign of the culprits.
"An assortment of drugs including 5 700 ecstasy tablets, suspected cocaine powder, crystal meth and mandrax tablets with an estimated street value of R2 million was found," says KZN police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda.
"Although no one was found in the premises during the raid, police are hot on the heels of identified suspects.”
Netshiunda says in Umlazi on Tuesday, two men suspected of being behind a spate of business robberies in eThekwini were arrested.

"The suspects, aged 20 and 25 years old, have been positively linked with a business robbery in Hillcrest where the duo allegedly stormed into a business on Old Main Road and robbed a business owner of his belongings."
He says a 27-year-old man, who was spotted by police driving recklessly on the M4 south, refused to pull over, leading to a high-speed chase.
He was nabbed after he crashed his car on Prospecton Road.
Netshiunda says they later realised that the vehicle he was driving had been stolen from a hospital parking lot in the Point area earlier this month.
