Excise suspects drug to be smuggled in from Spain
The Hindu
Seizure of over 1 kg of contraband from an apartment at Thrikkakara in Kochi
The huge cache of drug in excess of 1 kg seized from an apartment at Thrikkakara in August was probably smuggled in from Spain, suspects Excise Crime Branch (ECB), which is probing the case.
Though not a usual destination thrown around in association with drug smuggling, the investigation team strongly suspects the contraband to have originated from Spain considering the infrastructure potential of the affluent European country for manufacturing drugs.
Though the investigation team was confident that the consignment was procured from Triplicane area in Chennai, for a long time, Excise sleuths could not confirm whether the drug was locally manufactured or imported. That now seems to have settled for the time being.
