Members of the Mahwelereng Flying Squad were patrolling areas around Mokopane CBD, Sebetiela Plaza, and Nyl Plaza when they received a tip about a suspicious vehicle transporting illegal cigarettes.

Upon spotting the white Ford Ranger, the occupants abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot into nearby bushes. A search of the bakkie revealed the 48 master boxes of cigarettes, which police seized as part of an ongoing investigation.

Authorities have launched a manhunt for the suspects and are urging anyone with information to contact local police or report via the MySAPS App.

This seizure follows a series of recent actions by Limpopo law enforcement to clamp down on illicit trade. Earlier this year, the High Court granted a forfeiture order for R446,000 in cash and a Toyota Fortuner linked to similar illegal activity, highlighting the ongoing efforts to tackle organized crime and protect the region’s economy.
