Johannesburg Busts Copper Smuggling Ring
Description
Johannesburg cops, teamed up with Interpol, just smashed a massive copper smuggling ring worth over twelve million rand—thanks to a tip from Zambia. Three hijacked trucks carrying stolen copper led investigators to South Africa, where fake Tanzanian plates and forged customs docs were used to sneak the goods in. The copper, hidden in 26 bundles with serial numbers scrubbed off, was entering via Beitbridge Border Post. No arrests yet, but authorities are hot on the trail of this international heist.
