Metro police say officers accompanied him home after he could not produce a relevant ID, during a routine traffic stop. They were given permission to search his premises and found a plastic bag containing 54 grams of tik and 603 Mandrax tablets hidden behind a fridge.
In a separate incident, a 33-year-old man was arrested in Bellville, when officers on foot patrol found nearly 600 mandrax tablets in his backpack.
