HELSINKI, June 13 (Xinhua) -- Swedish Customs announced Friday that it has made the largest amphetamine seizure in the country's history, confiscating 351 kg of the drug during the arrest of a truck driver earlier this year.

According to a statement from the customs authority, the discovery occurred on the evening of Feb. 28 when a Slovenian-registered tractor-trailer arrived by ferry in the southern Swedish port city of Malmo from Germany. The vehicle, which had declared its cargo as metal, was found to contain 351 kg of amphetamine, 9 kg of heroin, and 3 kg of cocaine.
