The trio was intercepted near Baobab Truck-stop along the N1 highway on Friday evening with a consignment of 12 boxes of cigarettes worth R160 000 which had been smuggled from Zimbabwe. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- The army men and the foreigner whose names are yet to be released by the neighbouring country’s police are expected to appear at the Musina Magistrate Court soon. Limpopo police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo confirmed the arrests on Saturday, saying the trio was intercepted while en-route to meeting a potential buyer. Brig Mojapelo said the vehicle was searched and 12 boxes of Remmington Gold cigarettes valued at R160 000 were found packed in the back of the vehicle. He said the civilian was immediately arrested but the armed soldiers reportedly became confrontational and refused to be arrested. Said Brig Mojapelo: > The police confiscated the said vehicle. The soldiers were later brought to the police station by their Commander and were then detained. > They will be charged with possession of illicit cigarettes, defeating the ends of Justice and resisting arrest. He said the undocumented foreigner will be charged with impersonating members of South Africa’s National Defence Forces (SANDF) and contravening a section of the Immigration Act. *More: Chronicle* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
