Durban - Two people were arrested in Durban after being found in possession of drugs with an estimated street value of R6.5 million, KwaZulu-Natal police said on Wednesday.
The couple aged between 28 and 29 were caught on Tuesday night at the King Shaka International Airport after they landed from India, said Colonel Jay Naicker.
Police confiscated 36kg of crystal methamphetamine in their luggage.
A 36-year-old woman was later arrested in the Point area in Durban waiting for the delivery of drugs from the couple, said Naicker.
The three would appear in court soon for dealing in drugs.
The arrests followed an instruction by provincial police commissioner, Lt-Gen Mmamonnye Ngobeni, to identify people supplying drugs to dealers in the province.
