The authorities proceeded to check several boxes and found 16 plastic-lined sheets on their lids, containing inside the pills suspect to be of the drug.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office and the DNCD said the pills would have been sent to a man residing in Maryland, United States.
The National Institute of Forensic Sciences received the pills for verification.
