Three people were arrested on Wednesday in the Cape Town suburb of Observatory with R100 000 worth of dagga, Western Cape police said.
 "We executed a search warrant, and confiscated 45 dagga plants, eight plastic bags with dagga and a tin filled with dagga," said Sergeant Hilton Malila.
Police also recovered nine rounds of ammunition hidden inside a spectacle case.
"We also confiscated equipment and educational material on the manufacturing of dagga on the premises."
Police were tipped off that the people in the house were dealing in dagga.
The dagga they found had an estimated street value of R100 000.
The three men, aged between 19 and 24, were arrested for dealing in dagga and possession of ammunition.
They will appear in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court next Monday. - Sapa
