Police have arrested two suspects, aged 30 and 33 after they were found to be operating a clandestine hydroponic dagga laboratory at a farm in Fountains Head in Umkomaas on Sunday afternoon.
Police were doing routine patrols in the area when they stumbled upon the illegal dagga laboratory.
One thousand two hundred dagga plants and dagga processing machines worth approximately R10 million were found at the lab.
Police are closing in on the third suspect who is believed to be the owner of the dagga laboratory.
The arrested suspects will appear in court soon.
In a separate operation, officers from the Provincial Drugs and Firearms unit acted on intelligence about a large quantity of drugs which were destined for the streets of Durban.
The team proceeded to the identified location and raided a flat in Point.
Seven thousand five hundred ecstasy tablets, as well as suspected cocaine and ephedrine powder were found inside the flat.
The estimated street value of the recovered drugs is approximately R1.2 million.
The search for the suspect who rented the flat is underway.
