ORTIA – A crime intelligence driven operation led to the discovery and confiscation of R6 million worth of crystal meth. The drugs were found hidden in a wooden snooker pool table that was destined for import at a warehouse at OR Tambo International Airport. Police were following up on intelligence when they made the discovery of the drugs which were allegedly destined for Australia. Police are following all leads to determine the origin of the drugs in SA, as well as who delivered the consignment for import. No arrests have been made and investigations continue. The National Commissioner of SAPS, General Fannie Masemola has applauded the vigilance and dedication of various police units stationed at the Airport. “Police at OR Tambo International Airport continue to intercept drug traffickers and large consignment of drugs almost every week – their vigilance and dedication is applauded. These drug busts should continue to send a stern warning to all drug traffickers and drug cartels that police are on high alert at Africa’s largest port of entry”, said Gen Masemola Ends
