The Provincial Extortion Task Team recovered 300 boxes of stolen liquor and arrested one female suspect on 4 December 2022.
The team received information from crime intelligence and searched a house in Heather Park, Eersterivier.
During the search, they seized alcohol worth R1.8 million.
This follows an incident where a truck transporting the same alcohol brand was hijacked in Maitland.
A 43-year-old female suspect was arrested for possession of suspected stolen property.
Once charged, the suspect will appear in the Blue Downs Magistrate’s court.
