Upington police spokesperson Sergeant Omphile Masegela says the police confiscated drugs valued at over R2 million on the N10 road yesterday. Masegela says, the seizure was based on intelligence about a Silver Hyundai Sonata Sedan traveling to Upington on the N10 road, allegedly carrying drugs. Masegela stated that upon searching the vehicle, police discovered more than 9,000 mandrax tablets with an estimated street value of over R930,000, tik valued at approximately R603,000, and crack cocaine estimated at R554,000. Masegela says the police seized the vehicle, an undisclosed sum of money, and cellphones. She says, two Nigerian nationals, a 42-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman, were arrested on drug dealing charges and are due to appear in court soon.
