Police spokesperson Wesley Twigg said that officers were deployed to Jenny Schneider Street on Wednesday.

"They confiscated 1,026 mandrax tablets which were found in the house. A 26-year-old man was arrested for the possession of drugs."

Twigg added that later that same day, police members in Khayelitsha busted a 33-year-old man on drug possession charges.
