Two male suspects are in custody, and their truck was seized by the Namibian Police at Kongola after contraband was found in their possession during a routine search at the checkpoint.

The suspects, aged 27 and 37, respectively, are said to be employed by a local trucking company.

They were returning from Zambia on Thursday, heading to the coast.

NamPol regional commander in Zambezi, Commissioner Andreas Shilelo, addressed the media in Kongola following the discovery of the illegal consignment.
