KwaZulu-Natal Police Find Expired Food and Fake Goods in Warehouses

Police in KwaZulu-Natal found two storage buildings holding expired food during an operation in the Bluff area, south of Durban, on Wednesday afternoon.

Police spokesperson Col. Robert Netshiunda said they found food items like canned fish, fizzy drinks, soya beans, baby food, and spices stored alongside harmful chemicals such as pesticides.

“Counterfeit prescription medication, body lotion, and expired alcoholic drinks were also found in the two warehouses,” said Netshiunda.

He also mentioned that police found two more warehouses with fake branded clothing worth millions of rand.

“Investigations are under way to find those selling expired food, mostly in township and village spaza shops, as well as the people importing fake clothing,” he added.

KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi praised the teams involved in the operation and promised to catch those responsible for these illegal activities.
