715kg cocaine seized at Aeroton from Brazil-origin container
Approximately 715kg of cocaine (initially reported as 999kg) was seized from a Brazil-origin container at Aeroton/Booysens on 9 July 2021. Exhibits were taken to Booysens SAPS then transferred to FSL Pretoria. A discrepancy between the scene count (700 bags) and FSL receipt (715 bags) suggests tampering.
