A man from Gauteng and a Russian national are behind bars after being found in possession of cocaine worth more than R250 million in Stilbaai, on the Garden Route.

Authorities responded to a tip-off about suspicious activities at the local harbour on Friday.

Upon their arrival, they spotted a vehicle linked to the criminal activities.

Police spokesperson Christopher Spies says the vehicle sped off and a high-speed chase ensued.
