Western Cape police have arrested undocumented women and children who were hidden inside a trailer attached to a bus on the N1 highway in Paarl.
According to police reports, officials noticed a bus off-loading passengers near the Sonstraal offramp.
SAPS said that one of the passengers offered the police R50,000 but he was charged for trying to bribe officials.
SAPS provincial spokesperson, Joseph Swartbooi, said police executed an arrest on charges of prevention and combatting of corrupt activities, an offence in terms of the Immigration Act and prevention and combatting of trafficking in persons.
“The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident will be conducted by the Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigation.”
The suspects are expected to appear in the Paarl Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
