The ADSU discovered undeclared cannabis in a package from Canada.
Discovery of a Suspicious Package
On September 2, officers from the Anti-Drug and Smuggling Unit (ADSU) intercepted a postal package at the Port-Louis post office, which raised suspicions due to the absence of sender details and content declaration. This package, which arrived in Mauritius by air from Canada on May 28, was subjected to a thorough inspection at 10:55 AM.
Contents of the Package
During the inspection, ADSU agents found that the package weighed 0.03 kg. The undeclared contents were identified as cannabis. This operation highlights the ongoing efforts of Mauritian authorities to combat drug trafficking and ensure border security.
Consequences and Future Actions
The authorities have intensified their checks on postal shipments to prevent the entry of illicit substances into the territory. Investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the shipment of this package and to identify the sender.
