Residents find used coffins during drug ‘raid’

Residents of Orange Grove, Johannesburg raided the house of a known drug dealer, and made an unexpected discovery.


On Sunday morning, a group of residents from Orange Grove, Johannesburg raided the premises of a known drug dealer in the area, and discovered more than contraband.

Sowetan Live reports that the residents forced themselves inside and followed a foul smell, which led them to stained coffins, some with soil still on them.

No dead bodies were found, and some coffins appeared to be new.
