Hawks Probe $200M Cocaine Heist | Johannesburg News

The Hawks are hot on the trail of suspects in a $200 million cocaine heist from their own storage facility in November 2021, with Pretoria businessman Lucas Legabe at the center. Arrested earlier this month, Legabe denies any involvement, claiming he was tortured and arrested without a warrant—while demanding proof linking him to the crime. The stolen drugs were seized near Durban in June 2021 but vanished during a burglary months later, exposing serious security failures at the Hawks’ Port Shepstone offices. Officials now suspect an inside job, probing every angle—including why top officials weren’t subjected to polygraphs—and the case remains wide open as the consignment remains missing.
