Probe into drug parcel from abroad leave excise officials dumbstruck

The investigation into the seizure of 200 LSD stamps couriered from Poland to a man in Thalassery last month has left the excise officials dumbstruck.

The seizure was made from a parcel received at the postal appraisal office of the Customs in Kochi in the wake of which the recipient, 35-year-old Vyas, was arrested from his house. Officials had also recovered 105g ganja, 18.75g hashish, 604.20mg MDMA, 36MG LSD stamps, and 254.20 heroine from his home. His mobile phone and laptop were also seized.

“His laptop was literally overflowing with evidence of his drug dealings. He was found to be ordering drugs from multiple foreign destinations as far back as 2016. We have so far received evidence about drug parcels received from Netherlands, Mexico, Poland, U.S., U.K., and Qatar,” said B. Tenymon, Assistant Excise Commissioner, Ernakulam.
