Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>THE Namibian police seized 10 270g of cocaine powder worth over N$5 million on New Year\u2019s day.<\/p>\n

The Cocaine was reportedly found hidden in a 44-year-old South African man\u2019s luggage, who was coming from Brazil to deliver drugs allegedly in Okahandja.<\/p>\n

This makes it the largest bust of the year.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi said a case of dealing in cocaine powder is being investigated by police.<\/p>\n

Shikwambi said the suspect was caught at the Hosea Kutako International Airport by customs officials while searching his luggage.<\/p>\n

This follows after the officials discovered through the scanner the suspected drugs, concealed in the luggage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect was consequently requested to open his luggage, which he did and as result, the officials found white parcels of Cocaine powder,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She added that the customs officials alerted the Namibian Police Force K-9 as well as the Drug Law enforcement officers.<\/p>\n

Shikwambi indicated that the Cocaine powder was confirmed and weighed in the presence of the suspect and officials.<\/p>\n

He is expected to appear in the Windhoek magistrate court this week.<\/p>\n
