In a targeted operation, members of the Gauteng Traffic Wardens, Muldersdrift SAPS, and Crime Intelligence uncovered a illicit alcohol manufacturing operation at Plot 420 in Muldersdrift.
Officers had been monitoring the premises for several weeks after receiving information suspecting it of being used for illegal alcohol production. During surveillance, a truck traveling on Larsens Road was stopped for inspection. A search of the vehicle revealed boxes filled with illicit alcohol. The driver was immediately arrested.
Upon questioning, the suspect confirmed that he was en route to deliver the alcohol to Evaton and that the boxes originated from Plot 420. Acting on this information, officers conducted a search of the plot where they discovered alcohol manufacturing equipment, large quantities of chemicals, and additional containers suspected to be used in the production of counterfeit liquor.
