Drugs and the name OR Tambo are becoming synonymous. The poor old freedom fighter must be rolling in his grave. Somehow I don't think that it's hat the "re-namers" of the airport had in mind.
Ephedrine worth an estimated R15,6-million on the street was seized at OR Tambo International Airport in Kempton Park on Friday, said police. (from IOL)
The haul comes just days after airport police intercepted a 565kg consignment of the same drug, expected to fetch R170-million on the street.
Interpol and Crime Intelligence spokesperson Tummi Golding said the powder appeared to have been destined for an address in Johannesburg, which police were investigating. (Sherlock Holmes on the case here - it's not like they are expecting us now!)
The drug itself was taken to a forensic laboratory in Pretoria to be destroyed. (Interesting!!!! - that will make any prosecution for smuggling it impossible as the police will not be able to produce the evidence)
