A package sent to Bali from Australia ,declared as “Coffe” (sic) with a $10 value on its Customs form, turned out to contain some hallucinogenic drugs.
Camouflaged in a Victoria Coffee Bag was 0.42 grams of N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, also known as DMT, in yellow crystal form, Denpasar Customs and Excise Office head Mohamad Saptari said.
The drugs were discovered on Sept. 4, 2015, but the package was never picked up in Bali, so no arrests have been made.
“The drug sent from Australia was hidden inside a pack of coffee,” Saptari said in a press conference this week, as quoted by News Corp Australia. “There is no address of the destination where the package should be sent,” he added.
Surely no one will be stupid enough to come and claim the “coffee” package now that it’s all over the media and Saptari is saying that possession charges for DMT carry a max 10 year prison sentence and Rp 5 billion fine.
Nevertheless, Bali Police say they are still trying to find where the package was meant to be sent.
“We have carried out a joint investigation to find the owner of the package, but failed. Until now, no one has come to take the package,” Bali Investigator Joni Lay said.
