Suspected drug dealers due in Durban court
Six suspected drug dealers are due to line up in the Durban Magistrate's Court on Monday.
The Hawks swooped on the suspects, aged between 31 and 61, in Chatsworth, south of Durban.
Police launched an investigation after an outcry over drug-related crimes in the community of Unit 11.
The suspects were identified during several undercover operations.
During Friday's bust, heroin capsules and pieces of crack cocaine with a street value of R110 000 were seized.
Hawks spokesperson Simphiwe Mhlongo says they also found other items.
"Cases of dealing in drugs were registered, and warrants of arrest were issued, hence their arrest. During the arrest, a luxury vehicle with no registration papers was seized from one of the suspects. Customs further seized master cases of cigarettes to the street value of R860 000."
