A popular actress (names withheld)
was on Sunday night apprehended
while allegedly trying to smuggle
drugs inside her luggage estimated at
millions into the country.
The popular South African actress
was caught at the OR Tambo
International Airport. The
spokesperson of the South Africa
Revenue Service (SARS), Luther
Lebelo, said 15.4kg of ephedrine was
found in the actress’ bag valued at
R4.6m on arrival from Abu Dhabi.
He said, “The passenger, who was
proceeding through the ‘Nothing to
declare channel/green channel’, was
stopped by customs officials for her
bags to be scanned. One of her bags
showed “suspicious images”.
“Upon investigation, officials
discovered 15 parcels wrapped in
carbon/foil-like material hidden in
the luggage. Immediate tests
conducted by SARS officials revealed
the suspected substance was
ephedrine.”
She has been handed over to the
police. In line with South African
law, her details will only be released
to the media once she has appeared
in court.
