The police have destroyed drugs and illegal substances that were confiscated from 2017 to the present.

The items are valued at over N$14 million.

The substances include marijuana with an estimated street value of N$12.5 million, cocaine worth N$500,000, and crack cocaine worth about N$200,000.

The Namibia Revenue Agency on Sunday confiscated cocaine valued at N$5,1 million at the Hosea Kutako International Airport, and a 40-year-old South African national has been arrested in connection with the incident.

Four people are suspected to have died from a drug overdose at Mondesa in Swakopmund since the beginning of September.

On Sunday, two men were discovered unconscious at a graveyard after consuming crack cocaine, but one of them died at the Swakopmund State Hospital on Monday.
