OR TAMBO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT – Police arrested two more drug traffickers on Sunday, 15 December 2024 at the OR Tambo International Airport.

These Bazilian drug mules, aged 30 and 35, had just landed from São Paulo, Brazil when they were intercepted at the airport.

One of these traffickers was found in possession of over 4kg cocaine in his luggage while a medical x-ray confirmed the presence of drug “bullets” swallowed by the other drug mule.

Fifteen “bullets” containing cocaine have been released.

These suspects are expected to appear before the Kempton Park Magistrates’ Court this week on charges related to drug trafficking.
