The lab was found in a unit in the industrial area of Montague Gardens and two suspects, aged 48 and 41, were arrested.

A Hawks narcotics enforcement team and officers from the police crime intelligence and anti-gang units received a tip-off about the lab, according to a Hawks statement.

“A disruptive operation was put in place wherein two suspects were seen leaving the unit and loading a black container into a vehicle,” said the statement. “They were immediately stopped and police requested to conduct a vehicle search. Dagga was allegedly found concealed in the black container inside the vehicle.

“The suspects were arrested and a subsequent search at the premises revealed several black tents containing over 700 cannabis plants in pots worth an estimated street value of R1m.”
