Police arrest man with R1.1 million in cash and two accomplices for bribery.
A 42-year-old man was arrested after police allegedly discovered more than R1.1 million hidden inside shoe boxes in his Ford Ranger Raptor on the N3 near Tugela Plaza in KwaZulu-Natal.
SAPS spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said the operation was carried out by Gauteng Counter Intelligence Operations (GCI-OPS).
According to Mathe, officers had been following up on information that the 42-year-old suspect was transporting drugs when they stopped and searched his vehicle. Although no drugs were recovered, police found more than R1.1 million in cash concealed inside shoe boxes.
Police said the suspect could not provide a satisfactory explanation for the source of the money.
