Crystal Meth (Tik) valued at R 9 Million confiscated at Cape Town International Airport

Lost and found had a total different meaning for a drug dealer when his luggage was discovered by police at the Cape Town International Airport on 6 June 2017.

The passenger arrived in Cape Town earlier in the week on a flight from Lagos via ORTIA, and failed to collect one of his bags, which then made its way to the lost and found section. Failure of the passenger, whose particulars are known, to collect his bag raised the suspicion of authorities and upon further investigation it was found that the contents was Crystal Meth weighing 26 kg with an estimated street value of R 9 Million.

The suspect is yet to be apprehended, and the circumstances surrounding the discovery are under investigation
