A 42-year-old woman has been arrested in Beaufort West, for being in possession of tik with an estimated value of more than R1.5 million.
The police’s FC van Wyk says members of the K9 unit in
Beaufort West conducted a vehicle checkpoint (VCP) at the weight bridge on the
N1 National Road in Beaufort West, on Sunday morning
‘’During a search of the luggage on a long distance bus,
the K9 sniffer dog reacted positively to a black bag that could possible
contain narcotics. The handler of the K9 police dog followed the lead and upon
further investigation found four containers in the bag with tik with an
estimated value of more than R1.5 Million,’’ said Captain F.C van Wyk.
‘’The owner of the bag, a 42-year-old woman was identified
-and arrested where after she was detained at Beaufort West SAPS on a charge of
dealing in drugs. She was travelling from Central Johannesburg to Cape Town,’’
he added.
The suspect will appear in the Beaufort West Magistrate’s
Court once charged.
