A 24-year-old Namibian man was arrested early on 30 July at a residence on Miems Street, Khomasdal, after police intelligence revealed 18 parcels of compressed cannabis weighing over 18.5 kilograms.

The arrest forms part of a wider crackdown on drug trafficking trends in Namibia. In July alone, NamPol reported the seizure of nearly 745 tonnes of cannabis, with 130 suspects arrested, including both Namibian nationals and foreign citizens across the Southern Africa region. That followed the discovery in June of over 696 kg of cannabis, dozens of mandrax tablets, and grams of cocaine and crack, resulting in more than 130 arrests.
