Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Members from the Trilateral Planning Cell (TPC) arrested a 37-year-old suspect in Gauteng on Tuesday after drugs worth millions were found stashed in the vehicle he was travelling in.<\/p>\n

Drugs seized in Gauteng<\/b><\/p>\n

The TPC consists of organised crime police officers in Mozambique, Tanzania and South Africa. It was established to put a halt to the influx of heroin in those countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe TPC is represented by members of these trilateral states with a unified objective to disrupt organized crime networks operating on the maritime western coast of the Indian Ocean,\u201d said South African Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson Colonel Athlenda Mathe.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, a TPC team watched the N12 in Springs, Gauteng after receiving intelligence that a suspect would be travelling from Mozambique in a Ford Ranger bakkie stashed with heroin and methamphetamine (Tik).<\/p>\n

The team spotted the vehicle at approximately 14:30 and brought it to halt. Sniffer dogs found drugs \u2013 sealed in plastic containers \u2013 hidden in compartments in the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The suspect was arrested on the spot and the drugs, which have an estimated value of R12 million, were seized along with the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old will appear before the Springs Magistrate\u2019s Court on Thursday, 7 July on a charge of dealing in drugs.<\/p>\n
