During an integrated multi-disciplinary operation on Saturday morning, three suspected drug mules, two men and a woman were arrested at the OR Tambo International Airport .
In the meantime, while these two suspects were being processed, the Hawks acted on information and intercepted a 49-year-old Brakpan man at about 11am at ORTIA just as he was to depart to Hong Kong on the 11.30am flight. The man was found with a little over 5 kilograms of cocaine, which was also strapped around his waist and chest.
“All four of these alleged drug mules were either booked to travel business class or travelled business class.” “These drug successes are an indication of the capacity and capabilities of the joint security forces to decisively deal with the numerous attempts to use ORTIA as a thoroughfare for drug smuggling. This clearly negates recent media reports that ‘drug smugglers pass through OR Tambo International Airport undetected’.
