Around 13:45 officers searched the premises and discovered 6 kg of heroin hidden in a cupboard. A 32-year-old man from Tanzania, who occupied the room, was arrested and charged with dealing in heroin. The drugs have an estimated street value of nearly R1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The search continued in another room, where officers found 100 g of heroin valued at around R16 000. A 28-year-old man from Burundi was arrested for drug possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While processing the suspects police received more information suggesting there were more drugs hidden on the property. Officers expanded their search and made a shocking discovery in the roof &#8212; 145 kg of tik and 16 kg of heroin. The street value of these drugs is estimated at R53,3 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, drugs worth R54,3 million were seized during the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspects are expected to appear in the Goodwood Magistrate\u2019s Court on Tuesday 15 July. The Narcotics Section of the provincial Organised Crime Unit is handling the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Western Cape Police Commissioner Lt-Gen Thembisile Patekile praised the team for their dedication and hard work in the ongoing fight against drug trafficking in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"266885\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peexpress\/major-drug-bust-in-goodwood-r54-3-million-in-heroin-and-tik-seized\/goodwood-drugbust-r54-3mil\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Goodwood-drugbust-R54.3mil.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Goodwood drugbust R54.3mil\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;In total, drugs worth R54,3 million were seized during the operation.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;In total, drugs worth R54,3 million were seized during the operation.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Goodwood-drugbust-R54.3mil-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Goodwood-drugbust-R54.3mil-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"In total, drugs worth R54,3 million were seized during the operation.\" class=\"wp-image-266885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Goodwood-drugbust-R54.3mil-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Goodwood-drugbust-R54.3mil-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Goodwood-drugbust-R54.3mil-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Goodwood-drugbust-R54.3mil-1320x990.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Goodwood-drugbust-R54.3mil.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In total, drugs worth R54,3 million were seized during the operation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/tygerburger.co.za\/frogs-crabs-and-lobsters-worth-r100-000-found-in-monte-vista-raid\/\">Frogs, crabs and lobsters worth R100 000 found in Monte Vista raid <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goodwood police seized tik and heroin worth over R54 million during a house raid.
