West Coast police arrested a 34-year-old man on Tuesday for being in possession of endangered succulant plants.
The police’s Joseph Swartbooi said that the N7 Flying Squad
responded to a call for assistance from Provincial Traffic near to
Piekenierskloof.
‘’Upon arrival they requested the passengers to disembark
the taxi, with the intention to search the vehicle. The members confiscated a
suitcase and backpack filled with succulents.’’
‘’A 34-year-old man was arrested and detained on a charge
of possession of flora without documentation,’’ added Warrant Officer, Joseph
Swartbooi.
Last week, a 49-year-old foreign national was arrested at
Cape Town International Airport, for being in possession of two boxes of
endangered succulent plants.
