Police in KwaZulu-Natal have launched a search for suspects after cocaine valued at about R13m was seized during an intelligence-driven operation at Durban harbour.
The drugs were recovered on Tuesday after a co-ordinated operation involving Durban operational response services and the serious organised crime investigation unit.
According to police spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda, the breakthrough came after a separate drug recovery in Gauteng in April, which pointed investigators to the possibility that narcotics were entering the country through the busy port.
