Bus passenger busted at Tsitsikamma Tollgate
Concerted efforts to eradicate drug trafficking at major entry points into the Western Cape again yielded positive results when drugs with an estimated street value of R 570,000 were confiscated at the Tsitsikamma Tollgate on October 9 around 3:20 am.
Members attached to the Eden Cluster Visible Policing and Tsitsikamma K9 units were strategically deployed at a roadblock along the N2 when they stopped a passenger bus en route to Cape Town.
Upon searching the vehicle they found a suspicious suitcase in the luggage compartment, which was positively linked to a passenger that apparently boarded the bus in Port Elizabeth.
A further search resulted in the discover)’ of 3,955 Mandrax tablets and two plastic bags containing Tik, with an estimated street value of R310,000.
A 31-year-old woman was arrested on a charge of dealing in drugs. It is believed the drugs were destined for distribution in Cape Town.
