Captain Frederick van Wyk said the police's organised crime unit pulled over a white golf in Anker Street on Thursday evening.

A man, aged 27, in possession of about 400 heroin straws was arrested.

"Follow-up investigation led [police] to a house in Anker Street where they arrested four more people."

Three men, all aged 23, and one woman, aged 30, were found with about two kilograms of heroin, bag sealers and plastic bags.

The arrested people are believed to be from Mitchells Plain and will appear soon in the magistrate's court in the area on drug-related charges.
