Two men were arrested for dealing in drugs in Berea, central Johannesburg, Gauteng police said on Friday.

The two Nigerians were arrested on Thursday at the Tygerberg flats, on the corner of Primrose Terrace and Tudhope streets, after a tip-off from members of the public, Captain Bhekizizwe Mavundla said.

Police raided the flat and found 20 cocaine rocks, 34 packets of cocaine and 24 ecstasy tablets.

The pair would appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Friday.
