Cape Town - Thirteen people were arrested, and drugs with a street value of R450 000 found during a police raid in Steenberg, Cape Town, police said on Friday.
One of the suspects was a 14-year-old girl, said superintendent Riaan Pool.
Police received a tip-off, and got warrants to search two neighbouring houses on Friday afternoon.
They netted R450 000 in drugs, nearly R30 000 in cash, and eight cellular telephones in their swoop, as well as the 13 people.
Dagga, Mandrax, crack crystals (cocaine) and "Tik-straws" were found in the houses.
Pool said all the suspects, with the possible exception of the girl, were due to appear in court on Monday.
