Drug mules intercepted at Cape Town International

A woman was arrested at Cape Town International Airport on Thursday after cocaine was found in her possession (from IOL...)

"She had approximately half a kilogram hidden in her private parts and 52 bullets which she had swallowed, [also] presumed to contain cocaine. Further test are still being conducted, "said Captain Dennis Adriao.

Three hours later, a 33-year-old Zambian woman was arrested after she was found with 3,5 kilograms of tik to the street value of over a million rand.

An hour and a half later, a 28-year-old Somalian man was arrested when found with 28 kilograms of Cat.

"Its street value is R33 000. We picked him up through profiling," said Adriao. (Profiling.... relying on stereotypes to investigate and catch people which in turn reinforces those stereotypes)
