Drug lab uncovered in upmarket Bloemfontein suburb | News Article

Bloemfontein - A 28-year-old Nigerian man is expected to appear in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court tomorrow after police found a makeshift drug laboratory at a house in Helicon Heights where he resided.

Free State police spokesperson, Peter Kareli, says Bayswater police were patrolling the area at around 18:00 yesterday when they stopped to question the suspect who seemed suspicious at the time. The patrol followed a scourge of recent house-breakings in the area.
 
According to Kareli the foreigner refused to give his personal information to police officers. When he was searched, police found a cell phone which upon further investigation led them to a house in Gascony Crescent.
 
Kareli says three plasma screens with filed off serial numbers, face value documents, and six cell phones were confiscated. The suspect was charged with possession of suspected stolen property and manufacturing of narcotics.
