Two suspected drug dealers are due to appear in court this week after police seized 28 500 ecstasy tablets in Milnerton.

The drugs and processing equipment found in a shipping container have a combined value of R6.5 million, according to provincial police spokesman Warrant Officer Joseph Swartbooi.

The police seized the drugs after a bust at a Castle Street premises in the CBD where two men were arrested.
