KUCHING: The Royal Malaysian Customs Department cracked down on a drug trafficking activity using courier services and seized various types of drugs worth RM1.2mil last month (March 14).
Sarawak Customs Director Norizan Yahya said the first seizure was made at 2pm on March 14 by a team of customs officers from the Narcotics Branch at a courier service company in Eastwood Valley Industrial Park, Miri.
A thorough inspection of a parcel at the premises found it contained 3.6kg of ecstasy with an estimated value of RM603,371 and 1.01kg of ketamine worth RM50,600, he said in a statement here on Wednesday (April 16).
Norizan said the second seizure was also made at the same company on the same day when the customs team found a parcel containing two packages of ecstasy weighing 3.45kg with an estimated value of RM577,653 hidden with food products.
He said the syndicate's modus operandi was using air courier services from the Peninsula to Sarawak to send packages to uninhabited addresses.- Bernama
