Customs seizes drugs worth over RM6mil


NILAI: Members of a syndicate tried almost all the tricks in the book to hoodwink Customs officers and smuggle 184kg of methamphetamine out of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport but failed.

The drugs worth RM6.6mil were stashed inside equipment declared as “electric contact grills” during an inspection at the KLIA Cargo Unit on Aug 16, Customs director- general Datuk Seri Abdul Latif Abdul Kadir told reporters at the Customs (Narcotics) headquarters at Kampung Jijan near here.
