Five suspects face drug charges after their arrest during a multidisciplinary operation in Musina.
Five individuals, including two Mexican nationals, two Zimbabweans, and a Malawian, will face charges at Musina magistrate’s court for their alleged involvement in a massive drug manufacturing operation worth over R600 million in Limpopo. The suspects were apprehended on Friday while processing crystal methamphetamine at a farm in Musina, following a multi-disciplinary operation conducted by various law enforcement agencies over the past two months.
Police seized an undisclosed sum of cash during the raid and cordoned off the farm as investigations continue. Two additional suspects will appear in Phalala Magistrate’s Court for possession of illicit cigarettes worth two million rand. The ongoing search involves the Hawks, Crime Intelligence, Special Task Force, South African Narcotics Bureau, and other partners, with additional suspects still at large.
