Five Zimbabwean, part of an eight man drug peddling gang were arrested in South Africa when they were caught manufacturing heroin worth $2,6 million.
The eight suspects were apprehended by the Hawks and members of the Crime Intelligence from Chartsworth Cluster at Durban's North Coast.
They were found with 26kg of heroin powder and 14kg of uncut heroin with an estimated street value of R17 million.
