On suspicion of containing narcotic substances, Chennai Air Customs had detained two postal parcels suspected which arrived from the Netherlands.&nbsp;

On examination, first parcel was found to contain 490 green-colored pills suspected to be MDMA, a narcotics substance. These pills are commonly known as ‘Frosch’ have a smiley on one side and contain around 160 mg of MDMA.&nbsp;

The second parcel was found to contain 50 orange pills embossed with a bull logo, similar to that of the supercar brand. These pills are known as “Lamborghini” and contain around 200 mg of MDMA. The seized pills are extremely potent as they contain a very high dosage of MDMA. Dosage above 120 mg is considered to be high and can be fatal.

Total 540 MDMA pills valued at Rs 16 lakhs were recovered and seized under the NDPS Act, 1985.

“During the lockdown period, the availability of alcohol and drugs have come down and we have been maintaining a strict vigil.

These are popular party drugs that are even used by teenagers in certain countries” &nbsp;Customs Commissioner, Rajan Choudhary told WION.&nbsp;

Over the last ten days, three different parcels containing highly-potent drugs have been seized by the Customs at the Foreign Post Office in Chennai. A good share of these drugs has been seized from the time when the 12-day lockdown (from June 19 to 30) began in the city.

In the latest incident, a suspicious parcel that arrived at the Foreign Post Office from Wolverhampton, near Birmingham in the UK was seized. The parcel had an incomplete consignee name and was addressed to a person in Chennai’s adjoining Tiruvallur district.&nbsp;

On examination, the parcel was found to contain blue colour pills. The pills tested positive for MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine), a narcotics substance. A total of 270 pills suspected to be MDMA, valued at Rs 8 lakh were recovered and seized under the NDPS Act, 1985.
