In December alone, 19 meth labs were discovered, bringing to 137 the number of labs discovered and dismantled in 2009.
National crime manager Win Van der Velde said the operation was part of a police effort to disrupt the supply of methamphetamine and reduce the crime that is related to the drug's production.
