The police in Oshana Region have arrested a 25-year-old male suspect for allegedly importing contraband into Namibia.

The police, who were conducting a patrol on Tuesday on the Ondangwa-Oshikango road, spotted a white bakkie, which appeared suspicious due to its heavy loading.

The police then followed the male suspect to the home undercover and intercepted him while he was offloading the goods.

He was found in possession of 17 boxes of Angolan whisky valued at over N$24,000 and 70 bales of clothing and slippers that were all confiscated.
