Police spokesperson, Joseph Swartbooi, said that one of the suspects subsequently led them to a container in Maitland.
"A foreign national led the team to an address in Maitland where they searched the entire premises, as well as mobile devices, which eventually drew their attention to a container located in Milnerton. The members entered the container and a search ensued which resulted in the confiscation of 28,500 ecstasy tablets," said Swartbooi.
