DENPASAR: Police seized a shipment of 5,000 ecstasy pills with a street value of around Rp 1 billion, a senior officer said at the weekend.
"The ecstasy pills were sent through an expedition company in Jakarta. They were placed in several cardboard packages along with packets of biscuits, apparently in an attempt to disguise the shipment," said Bali Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Gde Sugianyar.
The packages aroused the police's suspicion when they went through the X-ray machine upon arrival at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport. The officers took the packages, inspected their contents and sent the suspicious looking pills to the police lab. Laboratory tests confirmed the pills were ecstasy.
"Unfortunately, we have yet to arrest the sender or recipient of the packages as the names and addresses written on the packages are fake," he said. -JP
