A sting operation by members of the Hawks‚ Crime Intelligence and K9 has led to the arrest of three Soweto men‚ who were caught with Mandrax.

Early Tuesday morning‚ police said the joint team intercepted a Nissan bakkie in Uitenhage‚ Eastern Cape‚ loaded with approximately 15‚200 mandrax tablets‚ with a street value of approximately R760‚000.
