Police discover drug laboratory at a house in Orlando West.

12 April 2018 | From Arrive Alive


The Police have made a major breakthrough in the fight against the scourge of drugs with the discovery this morning of what appears to be a drug laboratory at a house in Orlando West.

The breakthrough emanates from collaborative work between the Communities and the Police. The community has played a commendable role in this intelligence-driven operation and that must be recognised as we continue to advocate for partnership policing.

SAPS is appealing to the neighbouring community or anyone who has information, to come forward and report to the Police on any further detail that could assist in concluding this case. The truth is, the house had been abandoned on our arrival. SAPS is on the lookout for suspects and we therefore need the public to assist us with apprehending the suspect or suspects.
