SARS Customs officials bust a South African woman carrying 4kg of cocaine worth R1.2-million which was concealed in chocolate containers at Cape Town International Airport on Monday afternoon.

The cocaine was discovered when a customs official inspected the hand luggage of a woman with chocolate containers in her bag‚ SARS said.

“The chocolate containers were then opened when the woman failed to produce a receipt or proof of purchase. It turned out that they were filled with 200 bullets of unknown white substance that tests confirmed to be cocaine.
