During the verification of the cargo, tests were conducted on the shampoo and a positive result for cocaine was achieved.
The consignment with an estimated weight of 200kg and an estimated street value of R50 million was seized. The consignment was destined for Australia from Sao Paolo.
No arrest was made in this regard but investigations are continuing.
