Cocaine hidden in rice bags - Crime & Courts - IOL | Breaking News | South Africa News | World News | Sport | Business | Entertainment | IOL.co.za: "Details of how a consignment of 312kg of cocaine, hidden among bags of rice in a container, was intercepted in Durban harbour emerged during a bail application by six suspects yesterday.

The suspects, allegedly part of an international drug-smuggling syndicate arrested earlier this month, appeared in the Durban Magistrate’s Court.

They are British citizen Nitin Patel, Mozambicans Jose Rodrigues, Ben Nuvunga and Cassmo Haramate, Peter Fernando, a dual citizen of South Africa and Sri Lanka, and South African Jabar Sheik.

Their arrest came after the seizure of drugs with a street value of R316-million. It followed an eight-month joint investigation by members of the Pietermaritzburg Hawks, Pretoria crime intelligence and authorities from Canada, Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates."
