  • They’re Nailing Drug Mules At OR Tambo Now

    Police are cracking down on people trying to smuggle drugs in or out of the country, making ‘drug mule’ the second worst job at the airport.

    First place goes to this lady, who’s clearly having such a kak time that no luggage is safe.

    The SAPS have arrested three people in connection with three separate incidents of alleged drug smuggling at OR Tambo International Airport, reports TimesLIVE.

    In other words, it’s not a good time to be a mule:

    Police spokesperson Lt-Col Katlego Mogale said a 49-year-old man was arrested with  drugs worth more than R100,000 during an intelligence-driven operation on Tuesday, January 8 2019.

    The man was about to board a flight to Munich, Germany, when the team found khat in his luggage.

    Erik Korpel appeared in the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court on a charge of dealing in drugs.

    In the same week, a 36-year-old woman arrived from Brazil and was arrested on her way back from Namibia, and a 47-year-old man was about to depart to Frankfurt, Germany, when he was stopped at the check-in counter following a tip.

    The successful arrests have been attributed to interdepartmental co-operation.

    “This interdepartmental co-operation with the airports authority (Acsa) and other stakeholders overseen by the Natjoints has been established to root out criminals and criminality at OR Tambo,” Mogale said.

    Police will continue to crack down on airport crime as the year rolls on. If you were going to chance your arm, you should probably think again.
