The suspects, who are also brothers, are expected to appear in the Welkom Magistrate's Court.

The police then proceeded to the suspect's parents' home in the New Stands section and found the suspect's brother, who was also found with drugs hidden in a couch in the bedroom. He was then arrested.

In total, 100 plastic bags with Crystal Meth, 27 small plastic bags with Crystal Meth, 5 small plastic bags with CAT drugs, 54 full Mandrax tablets, and 4 plastic bags with dagga, weighing 485,7 grams, were found.

The drugs, with a street value of R26 000, were confiscated. The two brothers, aged 23-years-old, were arrested on charges of dealing drugs.
