Three suspects arrested for the illegal possession of perlemoen near Knysna are expected to appear in court on Monday.
According to police spokesperson Sergeant Christopher Spies, members of the Knysna Crime Prevention Unit received information on Friday about a Ford Focus travelling from Cape Town transporting perlemoen.
The car was spotted near the Kwanokuthula turn-off, but sped off when the occupants saw the police vehicle.
After a high-speed pursuit, the officers managed to stop the vehicle just outside Knysna.
