Officers of the Roxborough Police Station, the Criminal Gangs and Intelligence Unit and the Divisional Task Force, acting on a tip off, went to an area close to the beach at Bel Garden.
There they discovered 10 crocus bags containing 166.2 kilos of marijuana in all hidden in some bushes.
The officers then received another tip-off and went to the Englishman’s Bay, where they intercepted a Nissan X trial vehicle with two occupants.

The Nissan X-Trail has since been impounded by police.
The two suspects remain at large.
