Drugs worth an estimated R270million on the street have been seized and five men have been arrested at a factory on a farm near Hartebeespoort Dam.

Superintendent Pieter du Plessis said: "The drug known as 'ice' was seized yesterday morning when investigators reacted to a tip from members of the community."

North West safety MEC Jerry Thibedi said the swift action of the police and the revenue service deserved praise.

"There must be no room for such criminals to hide. No matter how remote a place they choose, they will be found." - Sapa
