In the past month, officers have been monitoring and
keeping surveillance on a vessel that was making its way to South Africa from
Brazil, and before it arrived at the Port of Durban, members mobilized units
and resources to conduct a search and seizure operation on the identified
containers.
A multidisciplinary operation was conducted on Thursday 19
October, and 20 litre paint containers were seized. Inside, police found 200
blocks of cocaine.
Minister of Police, General Bheki Cele commended the
meticulous investigative work at play.
“We will continue to stamp the authority of the state, we
are strengthening our response and our strategy in dealing with these
syndicates”, said Minister Cele.
The National Commissioner of the SAPS, General Fannie
Masemola said the National Safer Festive Season Operations are gaining
momentum.
