A MONDEOR couple arrested for allegedly manufacturing drugs at their home appeared briefly in the Johannesburg Magistrates' court today.

The 49-year-old man and his 38-year-old wife were allegedly caught while manufacturing drugs at their house South of Johannesburg on Thursday.

Police spokesperson Senior Superintendent Tumi Golding said police confiscated five kilograms of methylated crystals and other laboratory equipment when arresting the two.

"Our crime intelligence unit has been keeping an eye on them for the past four months and they eventually made an arrest this week," she said.

Golding said their preliminary investigations revealed that the couple's drug manufacturing laboratory mainly supplied drug lords in Cape Town.

"The man is also being investigated after police sources revealed that he was not a South African citizen. Allegations are that he changed his Nigerian surname Piri to Phiri a while back," she said.

The couple was not asked to plead and will remain in custody until their next appearance on May 19 as their case was postp9ned for further investigations.
