Western Cape police are investigation a drug syndicate this follows after a box carrying tik worth millions was confiscated in a bus in the Southern Cape.

Yesterday morning police pulled over a yellow Volvo bus on the N1 highway just outside Beaufort West for routine search operations.

The bus was searched during which a box containing ten plastic bags of Tik, about 10.5 kg was found, with an estimated street value of R3 million.

The drugs were not in the immediate possession of any person on the bus and therefore nobody has been arrested at this stage.

Meanwhile four suspects were arrested after they were found in possession of 20 uncut diamonds.

The suspects were nabbed by the Metro police through their Special Operations Unit while they were driving around Observatory.

The four were arrested and detained at the Woodstock Police Station.
