2 more drug arrests at OR Tambo International Airport
Thirteen drug traffickers have been arrested at one of South Africa’s international airports in the past few weeks.
This week, police arrested two Dutch alleged drug traffickers in separate incidents at OR Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) and seized 80kg of fresh khat (Catha edulis) found in their possession.
According to a preliminary report, both the 21-year-old and 59-year-old suspects were en route from South Africa to the Netherlands via Dubai when police intercepted them.
“Both attempted to check in and board their flights on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively,” says Lieutenant Colonel Amanda van Wyk.
The suspects were arrested and are expected to appear in the Kempton Park Magistrate’s court.
This brings the total to 13 drug traffickers arrested at the ORTIA in the past couple of weeks.
