Cops seize cocaine worth R151 million hidden in meat boxes
Police officers at the Durban Harbour seized a cocaine worth R151 million hidden in meat boxes.
On Monday, 04 December 2023, members were following up on intelligence and monitored a container that was on a vessel from Brazil.
A multidisciplinary team inspected the container at a cold storage facility and found 433 blocks of cocaine disguised in meat boxes.
No arrests have been made and the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) has taken over the investigation.
This is the third MASSIVE drug bust in two months at this harbour. In October, the same team seized cocaine worth R150 million.
Meanwhile, the National Commissioner of the SAPS, General Fannie Masemola met with the Police Chief of the Brazilian Federal Police, Andrei Passos RODRIGUES on the sidelines of the Interpol Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Vienna this past week.
“General Masemola discussed the influx of drugs into SA from their ports. A decision was made to enhance the level of cooperation which has already seen great successes in the sharing of information on drugs and other criminal activities as well as countering international crime syndicates.”
