A 30-year-old man has been arrested by the KwaZulu-Natal police after he was found with illegal drugs.
The KwaZulu-Natal police discovered an estimated R400 000 worth of heroin powder in his possession.
The 30-year-old man from Richards Bay harbour was busted by the police on Saturday.
According to Col. Thembeka Mbele, the bust was a result of an intelligence driven operation.
“Police conducted an intelligence driven operation targeted at preventing and confiscating drugs that were smuggled into the country through the Richards Bay Harbour,” she said in a statement on Saturday.
