R400 million cocaine bust in Western Cape


Three men will spend the weekend behind bars following their arrest on Thursday for possession of cocaine.

Police spokesperson Zinzi Hani says they followed up on information about a truck transporting drugs and organised an operation on the N1 freeway.

She says a truck was spotted at the Engen Garage at Winelands travelling towards Cape Town.

Upon searching the vehicle police found cocaine worth R400 million.

Hani says the drugs were found hidden inside false wooden boards at the back of the truck.

The suspects aged 39, 42 and 47 are expected to appear in the Athlone Magistrates Court on Monday.
