A man attempting to smuggle cocaine with an
estimated street value of 18 million-Rand across the Beit Bridge border post has
been arrested.
Otto explains that the warrant officer
noticed that there were some rollers with yawn in one of the bags of the
suspects and when he picked it up it was unusually heavy.
“The K9 unite was called in and the
narcotic dog responded positively towards the package and when they unrolled
the yawn they discovered plastic bags filled with a white powder, which turned
out to be cocaine,” said Otto.
Otto added that they further searched the
bag and there were some hidden compartments inside and there they discovered
some more cocaine.
Otto furthermore said that the total the drugs
weighed 15-16 kgs worth almost R18 million.
