A 21-year-old Ruyterwacht woman was arrested for possession of mandrax to the street value of R850 000 on Wednesday 10 January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsies River police spokeswoman, Daphne O\u2019Reilly, says police members conducted a search in Carnavon Street, following an intensive investigation into alleged illegal activities at the address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe woman, who was in possession of 17 000 mandrax tablets, is scheduled to make a court appearance at Goodwood Magistrate\u2019s Court today on charges of dealing in drugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe circumstances surrounding the discovery of the drugs are still under investigation, and the possibility of more arrests is not ruled out,\u201d says O\u2019Reilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone with information on illegal activities can phone their local police station or the Crime stop number 086001011 or SMS 32211. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
