Several packets suspected to contain narcotics drugs were found inside a box onboard an Ihavandhoo boat that had arrived in Haa Alifu atoll Hoarafushi, the Maldives Police Service has said.

An official from the Haa Alifu atoll Dhihdhoo Police Station said on Thursday that they had received information that there were drugs onboard the ‘Alia’ which travelled between the Ihavandhoo and Hoarafushi and that the packets had been found inside a box addressed to a house in Hoarafushi.

“We received information that there were narcotic drugs inside a box on the boat,” the Police Official said. “We even knew which house the box was addressed to.” He said that they had found 35 packets containing a brown powdery substance inside the box.

Two suspects have been arrested in the investigation, the Police official also said.

“It was a 20-year-old school student who was there to collect the box,” the Official said. “When he was taken into custody he said that he had gone to collect the box on the request of another person. The man who the student claimed was the owner of the box has also been brought in for questioning.”

Dhihdhoo Police Station said that the case was not yet over and they were still investigating it.
