Police say the suspects arrived at the airport with the intention of boarding a flight to Vietnam on Tuesday. But they were intercepted by the SAPS team and their luggage was searched.
This is one of many successes in the ongoing war against endangered species and wildlife crimes in the country, police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Katlego Mogale said.
“This arrest is indicative of their commitment to rid the airport of criminality. Successes such as this, are a culmination of efforts that form part of the revised strategy that has been implemented at the OR Tambo International Airport,” Mogale said.
Police have urged South Africans to continue supporting police efforts in the fight against crime by calling Crime Stop on 0860010111 with such information. Callers may remain anonymous and all information is treated with strictest confidence.
