The Flying Squad Teams, Model Code of Conduct (MCC) teams and the police have set their focus on online parcels, private and government courier services and cargo offices to check the flow of money, freebies, drugs, liquor and other precious metals, ahead of the upcoming general elections.
The teams which were hitherto conducting vehicle checks at different points, inter-district and State border check-posts were checking parcel and courier services in the State. “We have seized liquor, cash and jewellery smuggled through cars, two-wheelers, trains and other modes of transports,” a police officer said.
“Police checked the parcels loaded from various cargo offices, vehicles and the parcels which are ready to transport. We verified the material packed in cartons, gunny bags and in covers in Bapatla and other places,” said Bapatla district Superintendent of Police (SP) Vakul Jindal.
