According to a statement released by the Hawks, the 33-year-old suspect was arrested last night by members of the Lebombo Port Of Entry and K9 unit after a Toyota truck was subjected to a routine search upon entering South Africa from Mozambique.

“The resultant search of the truck revealed a concealed substance in a false compartment. The uncovered substance was identified as crystal meth neatly packaged in containers. It is valued at approximately R7.2m,” the statement read.
