A man suspected of smuggling in drugs via post has been arrested.
The 33-year-old man has been identified as Ali Shifau from Alivaage, L. Gan. He was arrested on Sunday under a court order issued by the Criminal Court, and the court has remanded him in custody for ten days.
Seeking the arrest warrant, the police told the court that a post addressed to him which arrived in the Maldives contained a substance that tested positive for Methamphetamine. The substance weighed 260 grams. When the suspect's urine was tested, it was positive for THCO and opiates, the police said.
The suspect had claimed he went to the Post Office to pick up the package for a friend. However, the said friend said he does not know who Shifau is.
