The Toyota Quantum was filled with bags of dagga.
Three suspects are expected to appear in the Hoedspruit Magistrate’s Court on Monday on drug trafficking charges after they were busted with drugs worth R11 million over the weekend.
The suspects were arrested during an operation by members of the Hoedspruit SAPS in collaboration with Farm Watch members between Saturday, May 30, and the early hours of Sunday, May 31.
Limpopo police spokesperson, Colonel Malesela Ledwaba, said the relentless implementation of Operation Shanela 2 continues to deliver significant results in the fight against organised crime.
“Acting on information regarding the movement of a large quantity of drugs through the area, operational members intercepted a Toyota Quantum taxi and a Hyundai i20 along the R527 near Snake Park at about 9.15 pm on Saturday,” Ledwaba said.
