Three German men aged between 26 and 51-years-old
and an Italian woman aged 31-years-old were en route to Knysna in a camper van
when they were pulled over by Metro Police officers, following a tip-off.
Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and
Security JP Smith said it is alleged that the suspects are linked to a European
syndicate operating in South Africa
Smith said upon searching the vehicle they
found hashish, cocaine and two wine bottles filled with suspected liquid MDMA
with an estimated street value of R500 000. Drugs were hidden in various
concealed compartments in the camper van and some were hidden inside coke
bottles specially designed to have hidden concealed compartments.
He added that the interrogation of one of
the suspects led Metro Police to a premises in Muzineberg where they found more
drugs including two litres of liquid MDMA, cocaine
and hashish with an estimated street value of R750 000.
“It is alleged that the liquid
MDMA is bottled in Amsterdam Champagne
bottles” Smith added.
