Law enforcement agencies in South Africa intercepted a drug courier from Eastern Cape en route to Cape Town and seized R2 million worth of mandrax, an illegal synthetic drug. A hidden compartment in the vehicle’s rear contained 50,000 packets of the drug, highlighting the pervasive infiltration of the illegal drug trade. The operation showcased the exceptional coordination among the Hawks, SANEB, and Crime Intelligence’s Counter Narcotics and Gangs, and the impact of their dedicated efforts in disrupting drug supply chains.
