In a concerted effort to eradicate the selling of illicit goods, the police from Crime Intelligence and South African Revenue Service (SARS) Customs Unit, recovered and seized a large amount of suspected illicit hookah charcoal tablets on 20 May 2024.
The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Sergeant Merapelo Pilane said this comes after the members of Provincial Crime Intelligence, received a tip-off about an expected delivery of illicit hookah charcoal tablets at a storage facility in Phakamile Mabija Street in Kimberley.
“The information was immediately operationalised, and over two thousand boxes containing charcoal tablets with an estimated value of R900 000 were confiscated. The police have opened an enquiry and the investigation continues,” she said.
