Nine alleged perlemoen smugglers will appear in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

The suspects were arrested in Milnerton when they were caught with perlemoen worth an estimated two-million-Rand.

Police acted on a tip-off and caught the men loading 610-kilograms of the endangered seafood onto a truck at a business in Killarney Gardens.

Spokesperson André Traut says they had apparently planned to take the load to Cape Town Harbour.
