Police continue to crack down on operations related to suspected drug trafficker Yaganathan Pillay, known as Teddy Mafia, almost three months after his death.
On Wednesday, a joint operation between members of the Hawks’ narcotics control office in Durban, along with criminal intelligence and subway police, led to the discovery of 10,700 capsules of heroin at a storage facility allegedly belonging to Pillay.
Hawks spokesman Col. Katlego Mogale said a 41-year-old man was arrested after being found at the storage facility.
“He was arrested at the Teddy Mafia warehouse on Table Mountain Street in Shallcross when police rushed the scene. Police seized 10,700 capsules of heroin with an estimated street value of more than R214,000. He was charged with drug trafficking and drug possession. ”
Pillay was shot down at his home on January 4, setting in motion a sequence of bloody events in which his two alleged attackers shot, decapitated and their bodies burned in public view.
A week later a series of specialized police units drove a clandestine operation that discovered drugs worth more than 100,000 rand near Pillay’s home.
