The Hawks arrest Sandra Pillay, a 53-year-old woman from Durban, in connection with an investigation into a drug laboratory in Standerton. According to reports, police seize a luxury vehicle linked to Pillay, with R3 million reportedly concealed in the boot. The arrest forms part of a broader operation in which investigators uncover chemicals, vehicles, and large sums of cash tied to alleged drug production activities. One account states Pillay hands herself to police after the Hawks link her car to a major drug bust valued at tens of millions of rand, while another describes her as being arrested by the Hawks during the Standerton investigation after the cash and vehicle are found. Both sources describe the case as involving multiple elements, including drug-lab materials and high-value assets, and frame Pillay’s involvement through the vehicle and cash concealed in it. The matter is ongoing, with investigators continuing to build the case related to the drug laboratory operation.
