SARS Customs, together with the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD), seized expired goods from a factory on 8th Avenue in Edenvale.
Items found included both perishable and non-perishable grocery items.
On-scene information suggests the items are United Nations parcels intended for rescue missions.
The Edenvale CPF chairperson, Mrs Linda McKenzie, said the EMM’s Health Department was also part of the operation.
“The stakeholders were acting on a tip-off received. As the ECPF, we are grateful for all the tip-offs we receive from our people,” she said.
Outside the factory, lawyers refused entry to the ECPF and the media.
