A total of 2 641 plants, 516 of which belong to 16 different endangered species, were discovered when the police led a raid of a shipping container in KwaNonqaba, Mossel Bay.
This is according to police spokesperson, Sergeant Chris Spies.
Leon Rossouw of the Mossel Bay-based Wildlife Crime Information Network (WCIN), who was present during the operation, said that in addition to the flora, animal skins - including those of a leguaan, caracal and python - were also confiscated.
The network operates throughout the Western Cape.
The raid on 4 and 5 June, a joint intelligence-driven operation by various police units and environmental organisations, took place in Centurion Street, KwaNonqaba.
One person was arrested at the container and later released, and is scheduled to appear in the Mossel Bay Magistrate's Court on 29 September.
