Our Customs Department seized a massive 10.53kg of methamphetamine worth RM2 million at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) recently.
The New Straits Times reports that two 28-year-old Indian nationals were held in connection to the three attempts to smuggle drugs into Kuala Lumpur.
Officers seized a parcel containing an exhaust pipe — into which 470g of methamphetamine was stuffed — at a courier service company in KLIA on July 13. The parcel was meant to be delivered to Klang.
“The parcel was supposed to be sent to Klang. After the recipients failed to be contacted, the customs department confiscated the parcel. We are trying to trace the suspects through the phone number left on the parcel,” KLIA Customs director Datuk Chik Omar Chik Lim was quoted as saying.
The two foreigners were caught on the same days, the NST says, after customs officers detected a suspicious object in their luggage. It was later found to contain methamphetamine weighing 5.04kg and 5.02kg, worth RM1.9million.
