Elite police units swooped on a clandestine drug den in a plush Umhlanga flat at the weekend.
Police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Thulani Zwane said officers had traced a 53-year-old man.
Once in handcuffs, Yaseen Sheik Mohamed led them to a packing house in Ridgeton Towers.
“On their arrival, a 53-year-old man was approached and arrested. He was taken back to his premises, where it was searched. The police officers found Mandrax and heroin with a street value of R1.5m,” he said.
Mohamed, in a loose checkered shirt, lumbered into the dock in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on December 31 2018, clutching a fistful of sweets.
Magistrate Vanitha Armu heard that Mohamed faced charges of dealing in heroin and had other pending drug-related cases.
He is expected to apply for bail on January 7 2019.
