Police arrest three alleged drugs mules at OR Tambo International Airport
Police said the three were nabbed after a joint operation between members from the SAPS, SARS, ACSA and ORTIA security. National police spokesperson Vish Naidoo said the trio had landed at the airport from South America at about 9.30am on Saturday morning.
“While these two suspects were being processed, the Hawks acted on information and intercepted a 49-year-old Brakpan man at approximately 11am at ORTIA just as he was to depart to Hong Kong on the 11:30am flight. Naidoo said the success of the drug bust operation was due to the joint efforts of the law enforcement agencies.
“On January12 this year Fiona Kruger was intercepted and arrested at the airport after she was also found in possession of cocaine. All four of these alleged drug mules were either booked to travel business class or travelled business class,” said Naidoo.
