R151m worth of cocaine seized at Durban harbour
Police officers stationed at the Durban harbour seized cocaine worth a street value of R151 million on Monday.
The latest bust follows the seizing of shipments of R151 million in cocaine during separate operations at the same harbour in October.
This comes as police have been tracking various containers which arrived in the country via the Durban harbour from Brazil on Monday.
Four-hundred-and-thrity-three blocks of cocaine were found concealed in meat boxes and disguised as such.
Since October, police in the country have seized over R500 million worth of cocaine.
The cocaine was seized in Gqeberha, Durban and Johannesburg.
"No arrests have been made, and the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) has taken over the investigation,” said police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe.
