90,000 Yaba tablets seized in Ctg

Bangladesh Navy personnel have seized 90,000 Yaba tablets from a trawler (large boat) in the Outer Anchorage of Chittagong Port. The seizure took place during a regular patrol near the Sangu gas field in the sea around 1:00am on Thursday, Navy commander Aswad Hossain Russell said. The navy officers ordered the sailors of the motorised boat to stop. Instead of following order, the boat headed towards land, where it was detained by the navy men, he said. ‘The criminals fled the scene and the navy officers found the tablets in 9 packets stashed in a sack on the boat.’ ‘Each packet contained 10,000 pieces of contraband tablet,’ Commander Russell added, according to a news agency.
