The initial suspect, aged 52, was detained just after midnight when authorities thoroughly searched his bus, registered in Windhoek. Upon inspection, law enforcement discovered eighteen boxes of “Yes” cigarettes and 27 boxes of “Best” whisky, valued at a combined N$128,700. Shortly thereafter, the second suspect, aged 31, was apprehended when his Windhoek-registered bus was stopped and searched.
