Hawks spokesman Captain Lloyd Ramovha said the value of the seized drugs had not yet been determined.
“Two hunting rifles‚ a handgun and ammunition were also part of the haul. They are to be subjected to forensic examination to determine whether they were involved in the commission of crime‚” he said.
The suspects are expected to appear in the Wynberg and De Doorns magistrate's courts respectively on Tuesday‚ and Ramovha said they would face charges related to drug dealing and illegal possession of firearms.
This is the second alleged transnational drug syndicate to be uncovered in the Western Cape this year after a massive shipment of heroin was uncovered on a wine farm near Villiersdorp in June.
Dutch citizen Mark Rodriguez‚ 23‚ is awaiting trial while the two suspected kingpins of the syndicate‚ Dutch citizen Peter Ross and Belgian Peter Hering‚ fled the country and are being sought by the Hawks‚ who have warrants out for their arrest.
