Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) claimed to have seized over 1kg of Ice and 50,000 pieces of Yaba worth nearly TK 70 million at the Bangladesh-Myanmar border in Teknaf upazila of Cox’s Bazar district early on Saturday.
Tipped off, a team of BGB’s Teknaf battalion challenged two men coming from Myanmar in the Noapara Mochoni Bazar area of the upazila around 3.45am, said Commander of Teknaf Battalion-2, Lt Colonel Sheikh Khalid Mohammad Iftekhar.
The alleged smugglers fled the scene immediately, leaving the drugs behind, reports UNB.
Later, the BGB men spotted a plastic bag from the spot and found 1.070 kg of crystal meth and 50,000 pieces of Yaba worth Tk 68.5 million inside it.
However, the BGB men couldn’t detain anyone during the drive.
