R20M coke stash washes up in JBay

THE OFFICIAL RELEASE: 46 KILOGAMS

JBay Cops made a pretty big score on Wednesday 15 December. Two large waterproof duffel bags packed thick with white bricks washed ashore at Supertubes, JBay.

It was small and onshore early, with few people around. Passers-by and dogwalkers alerted the police as to the find. The duffel bags were firmly tied to a 20l oil drum, the packets were waterproof, and it might have washed off a ship in the deep.

Lt Col Philani Nkwalase said the discovery of the consignment washed ashore was made by people walking their dogs on the beach. “Upon examination, they called the police about what seemed to be a drug consignment,” said Nkwalase. The consignment weighed 46kg.”

Biggest haul in JBay ever.

But to make things a little bit more terrifying, each brick had a pic of Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo on it.

He was one of the main dudes behind the Guadalajara Cartel in the ’70s. He was involved in murder and other such heinous crimes.

Mean-looking dude

Having said that, the local SAPS have been working working around the clock – often without sleep – to solve this one. The ones that aren’t retiring, that is.
