Port Elizabeth - Two men and a woman have been arrested on the road between Keiskammahoek and Port Elizabeth for possession of Mandrax, Eastern Cape police said on Thursday.

“Police stopped a white Jetta with three occupants during a vehicle check point, and on searching the car found a medium-sized travelling bag in the boot,” Captain Mali Govender said in statement.

They found 5000 Mandrax tablets and close to R15 000 cash in the bag on Wednesday afternoon. The drugs were worth about R300 000 on the street.

The three, aged 43, 28, and 25, would appear in the Grahamstown Magistrate's Court on Monday.
