The Hawks have arrested four suspects for illegally manufacturing steroids, after seizing R50 million worth of the schedule 6 medicine in Silverton.
Hawks spokesperson Captain Ndivhuwo Mulamu says the arrests were made at a house in the suburb in Pretoria.
"Police received a tip-off about illegal activities which were happening at Domkrag Street in Silverton. On arrival they nabbed four suspects, three men and a woman, manufacturing performance enhancement substances illegally," says Mulamu.
Mulamu says steroids, tablets, liquids, and tablet manufacturing machinery were seized at the premises.
"The suspects, Hennie Jordan (46), Brentwood Luiters (31), Merrium Twala (37), and Frans Dikgale (31) have made a brief appearance at the Pretoria Magistrates Court on Wednesday," says Mulamu.
The four have been remanded in custody and the case has been postponed to Friday for formal bail application and verification of addresses.
