Johannesburg - Heroin with a street value of about R48m has been recovered from a house in Crown Gardens south of Johannesburg, the Hawks said on Monday.
The police’s elite crime-busting unit conducted a raid on the house just before midnight on Sunday when they found the drugs, Captain Paul Ramaloko told News24.
A 42-year-old Pakistani man was arrested and will appear in court on Tuesday.
“We are confident that we could disrupt a heroin distributing network,” Ramaloko said.
Ramaloko said more arrests were expected as the man was suspected of being part of a syndicate.
Two unlicensed firearms were also recovered from the house.
