Don’t do drugs

Although the almost 15,000 Erimin-5 tablets will surely raise eyebrows, the CNB focused on the large amount of ‘Ice’ it seized.

The 608g of ‘Ice’ is enough to sustain about 347 drug abusers for 1 week, it said.

While investigations into the 6 suspects are ongoing, the message from the latest raid is clear: Don’t do drugs.
