Investigators from the narcotics bureau of the Hawks arrested a 37-year-old South African man who was receiving the drugs from a truck travelling along the N1 highway."A search of the container ensued in earnest and members managed to seize a total of 38 cocaine wrapped packages weighing one kilogramme each," a spokesman for the Hawks said.
Hawks spokesman Philani Nkwalase said the suspect was due to appear in the Blue Downs Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. The national head of the Hawks, lieutenant general Godfrey Lebeya, said Sunday's interception along with others in recent weeks showed that the unit was interrupting the supply chain of organised crime.
“This haul and many others that have been recently confiscated shows that the supply chains of organised criminal groups have been severed," he said. The Hawks last week arrested a 30-year-old suspect in Durbanville in connection with a consignment of drugs from Europe worth more than R6 million that was intercepted in Cape Town harbour.
