Fumba said the Hawks swiftly mobilised and monitored the suspect’s movements as the bus made its way to East London.
Fumba stated reports indicate that at about 10:00 on March 1, the bus arrived at the Windmill depot in East London, where passengers disembarked for a short break.
“The Hawks operatives maintained surveillance, patiently waiting for the suspect to reboard before making their move.
“Upon searching the suspect’s bag, the police discovered a suspicious brown package, which was later confirmed to allegedly contain thousands of ecstasy tablets,” he reported on the incident.
“The suspect was immediately arrested,” he added.
The Provincial Head of the Hawks praised the team for their vigilance and commitment to dismantling drug syndicates and ensuring that drug traffickers face the full might of the law.
