KOTA KINABALU: Customs officials believe they have crippled a drug-smuggling ring here with the arrest of two men and the seizure of some 6kg of syabu (methamphetamine), worth over RM220,000.

This was after Customs personnel became suspicious of three consignments sent through the Aviation Post at Kota Kinabalu International Airport last Dec 30.
