Police seized more than a thousand mandrax tablets and fraudulent drivers’ licences purportedly issued in Ghana during a raid in Mfuleni on the Cape Flats.

Spokesperson Novella Potelwa says detectives from the Organised Crime Unit also confiscated cash, cellphones and electronic items.

A 48-year-old suspect, who tried to evade arrest, is expected to appear in the Blue Down’s Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
