A 60-year-old man is scheduled to make his initial court appearance today in the Western Cape's Klawer Magistrate's Court on drug possession-related charges.
According to the provincial police spokesperson, Sergeant
Wesley Twigg, officers attached to Operation Restore and Traffic Services
stopped and searched a vehicle at the Klawer weighbridge.
It is said that the search was carried out in response to
information regarding a silver Jaguar pulling a trailer carrying a Jetta and
traveling to Cape Town with drugs concealed within.
“Upon an extended search of the Jetta, the members found 50
more bags possibly containing heroin hidden in the back seat of the vehicle.
The estimated street value of the drugs is R3.7 million,” Twigg said.
Police said a 60-year-old man was arrested and detained and
the suspect is due to make a court appearance in the Klawer Magistrate’s Court
on April 17, 2023.
