Bail for Phoenix woman arrested in cocaine bust

Her co-accused, caught operating a cocaine laboratory with nearly R4 million in drugs, awaits his bail hearing.

Narelle Maikoo, 34, and Brene Braydon Chetty, 22, both from Greenbury, were arrested by the Hawks and various police units after they were linked to the Southside Gang.

Maikoo, who was charged with dealing in cocaine and heroin after police found a brick of cocaine worth R350 000 in her bedroom and heroin powder in her kitchen, was granted bail of R5 000, in the Verulam Magistrate's Court last week.
