In a coordinated effort involving police from the Free State, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape, police intercepted a significant drug consignment, seiz-
ing crystal meth valued at R50 million within the first 24 hours of the operation.
On 25 March 2025, at approximately 10:30 AM, members of the Aliwal North Detectives and Crime Intelligence (CI) were conducting a tracing operation when they received information about a truck traveling from Smithfield to Aliwal North, suspected of transporting
drugs. The vehicle was intercepted at the bridge and escorted into the town for a thorough search. In response, the K9 Unit and Local Criminal Record Centre (LCRC) were summoned to the scene. A detailed search of the truck led to the discovery of 12 large bags of crystal meth, weighing a total of 313.5 kg, with an estimated street value of R50 million. The truck used in the transportation of the drugs was also confiscated. The suspect, a 35-yearold man from Gauteng, who is both the driver and owner of the truck, has been arrested. He is scheduled to appear in the Aliwal North Magistrate’s Court.
