Western Cape police have uncovered one of the largest perlemoen haul to date.

11-thousand poached perlemoen were found in the vehicle of two Port Elizabeth men stopped yesterday at a roadblock outside Caledon in the Overberg.

The value of the haul is estimated at well over nine-million-Rands.

This follows Sunday’s discovery of more than three-thousand perlemoen worth around three-point-two-million-Rands when a vehicle was stopped near Worcester in the Boland. The driver was arrested.
