The New Indian Express Anantapur
|January 01, 2025
IN its biggest drug haul in 2024, the Greater Chennai Police (GCP) seized 16 kg of methamphetamine from a house in Vadakarai in Red Hills on Monday and busted an international syndicate.
Ten people have been arrested and properties worth ₹5 crore seized in the case.
In all, the police have seized 17.8 kg of the drug from this syndicate alone worth ₹17 crore, although the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) pegs the per kg value of meth to be ₹10 crore.
The biggest reported case of methamphetamine seizure in Tamil Nadu in 2024 was the 36 kg bust by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) in Madurai in March. The 16-kg bust by the GCP is likely to be the second-biggest in the year.
