Members attached to the Sekhukhune Highway Patrol received information about two vehicles allegedly transporting dagga en route to Musina. The identified vehicles, a red Audi A3 sedan and a black Audi A3, were spotted and instructed to stop. The vehicles allegedly failed to comply, resulting in a pursuit.
