Drugs worth more R800 000 were seized during police raids in KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape this week. According to police spokesperson Sergeant Christopher Spies, a white Toyota Hilux bakkie was stopped on the N2 highway, near Plettenberg Bay on Thursday. Police searched the vehicle and found 109 parcels of dagga, with an estimated street value of R650 000, stashed underneath vegetables he had been transporting. Police believe the drugs were destined for the Southern Cape, according to Spies. On the same day, police raided a house in Shallcross, where drugs – including heroin, cocaine and mandrax – worth R20 000 were seized.
