Police are looking for suspects behind a drug lab that has been discovered in northern KwaZulu-Natal.

Officers stormed the premises in Ngudwini on Thursday.

It had equipment and drugs said to be worth millions of rands. 

Provincial police spokesperson Jay Naicker says the machines were found still running, but the suspects had already fled the property.

"A large quantity of raw materials suspected to be used in the manufacture of drugs as well as tablets suspected to mandrax were found on the scene."

"Packing materials, two electrical grinding machines, a drying oven, an electric compressing machine, a truck with a secret compartment as well as other equipment were also discovered. 

"The investigation will be handed over to the Hawks and we hope that the perpetrators will be brought to book soon."

What a heartwarming moment with grandma...
