After discovering numerous suspicious items, the police force carried out an inspection of three parcels, including two from Portugal and another from Germany. |
Inside the parcels they discovered approximately 7.4 kg of drugs. |
Police forces were able to identify the pills as ecstasy, scientifically known as Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, also known as MDMA. |
The drugs had been hidden within carton boxes, stuffed animals, CD players, and bags of clothes. |
The parcels had been sent to fake recipients and addresses. |
If the police had not made the discovery, a criminal contact involved in the operation in Vietnam would have contacted the postal service directly in order to receive the package. |
The case is currently under further investigation. |
