Concerted efforts to clamp down on dealing and transportation of drugs in the Western Cape were rewarded when Laingsburg police intercepted a truck with drugs destined for Cape Town on Tuesday, 03 September 2024.

The operation started when police members followed up on information about a delivery vehicle been used to transport drugs on the N1 Highway. The members operationalised the information and monitored the entrance into the town. Their patience were rewarded when they spotted the truck near Station Road at about 23:50. They approached the truck and ensued with a search of the driver and truck.

Their persistence paid off when they discovered a consignment of drugs hidden in lunch boxes inside the cabin of the truck. They detained the adult male for dealing in drugs.
