A 32-year-old woman will soon appear before the Cape Town Magistrates Court after she was caught with 70 bullets of cocaine at the Cape Town International Airport.
The Hawks in the Western Cape said it received information on
Tuesday regarding a female suspect that was allegedly en route to Cape Town
from Brazil.
‘’Information was operationalised and the suspect was
identified and stopped at the Cape Town International Airport. When searched,
cocaine bullets were found in her possession and it was established that she
had swallowed other unknown quantity of cocaine. She has since been arrested
and sent to a medical facility in an attempt to retrieve the swallowed drugs.
In her possession, 70 bullets of cocaine valued at approximately R245 000 were
