Man arrested for possession of drugs worth R1.2 million found hidden under oranges
A 64-year-old man was arrested after being in possession of drugs worth R1.2 million that were found hidden under oranges.
This comes after members of the Hawks’ South African
Narcotics Enforcement Bureau intercepted a bakkie loaded with oranges along the
R555 towards Delmas.
During the search, officials discovered narcotics concealed
under the oranges.
Hawks Gauteng spokesperson Captain Lloyd Ramovha, said they
received a tip-off about the bakkie that was travelling toward Delmas and
carrying drugs.
“The resultant search uncovered about 5kg of crystal meth
valued at approximately R1.2 million. A 64-year-old male was arrested and
charged for dealing as well as possession of narcotics”, he said.
The suspect is expected to appear in the Springs
Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
