Crystal meth with a street value of 236 million rand has been intercepted by SARS customs officers at OR Tambo International Airport, in Ekurhuleni on Gauteng’s east rand. The palleted cargo – weighing 785 kilogrammes – was destined for Australia. The Hawks were called for the detection and seizure of the goods as well as further investigation.
SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter commended customs officers for stopping the dispatch of the drugs. In a statement Kieswetter says, “I want to send a clear warning to the criminal syndicates that are using our ports of entry/exit to commit this type of crime, that our officers are alert and working very hard to stamp out such criminality. The excellent cooperation with other law enforcement agencies at these ports is enabling all of us to deal a deadly blow to these illegal activities”.
A better way to pass the border, politicians and officials are dangerous
Good job from the Police but I wish more tougher actions from them in particular on drugs and other criminal syndicates
Whats going to happen to those drugs?, since i have never seen drugs being destroyed by police.
It belongs to the Australians, stop interfering with other people’s medicines. Singenaphi? They need to soothe the guilt of looting Tasmanian land. Give them their opioids.
Criminals are so brazen yhoh
Death penalty, where are you?
Now lets wait and see if Bheki Cele will distroy it like he normally does with illegal alcohol
I need to applaud the SAPS. Been getting good news only from them recently.
I'm just happy there's indeed a proper clean up for SA. Hope criminals are not out next day though
Your precious foreigners are doing it
