  • Johannesburg - Two men were arrested on Sunday morning after they were found with dagga with a street value of about R10m, said Free State police.

    Police had stopped a truck, which was about to enter South Africa from Lesotho, and searched it about 07:00, said Superintendent Motarafi Ntepe.

    "They found and confiscated 265 bags stuffed with dagga with an estimated street value of R10m."

    The two men from Nyanga in Cape Town were arrested and the truck was seized.

    Truck will be returned to owners

    It had been established that the rental truck belonged to Value Logistics in Cape Town. It owners were not aware it was being used for alleged criminal activities.

    It would be handed back to its owners, said Ntepe.

    The men - aged 30 and 38 - would appear soon in Ladybrand Magistrate's Court on charges of dealing in dagga.
