Police arrest a 52-year-old man at OR Tambo International Airport after they allegedly find suspected heroin worth more than R2 million in his luggage. The man is taken into custody following the discovery of bullet-like objects and blocks containing a substance suspected to be heroin.
The South African outlet describes the case as a drug bust in which the seized heroin is valued at over R2 million and reports that this is the third “mule” arrest connected to the operation. IOL similarly reports the alleged find at OR Tambo and identifies the suspect and the estimated value, with both accounts focusing on the items in the traveller’s luggage and the arrest by airport police.
While the outlets agree on the core details—an arrest at OR Tambo, suspected heroin, and a value exceeding R2 million—they differ slightly in emphasis. One outlet highlights that the arrest is the third in a broader chain, while others concentrate on the immediate circumstances of the seizure and arrest.
