News summary

Authorities in South Africa have arrested five suspects, including three Mexicans, after discovering a large-scale crystal meth lab on a farm in Groblersdal. The police raid revealed drugs valued at approximately R2 billion ($108 million) and significant quantities of chemicals used for production. The suspects include the farm owner and four others, who appeared in court without entering pleas, with their next hearing scheduled for 1 August. This operation highlights South Africa's role as a significant drug market and transit point for illicit substances, as noted by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. In a separate incident in the U.S., three individuals were charged in connection to drug activities within the Harris County Jail in Texas, with one suspect already incarcerated on a murder charge. Local authorities emphasize ongoing efforts to enhance security and screening processes in jails to combat drug infiltration.
