Police seize drugs to make Ice

INDONESIAN police, with assistance from their Australian counterparts, have foiled a shipment of drugs used to make “Ice” which they say could have eventually been destined for Australia.

The 336kg of a powder believed to be NorEphidrine could be used to make about 200kg of the drug Ice and would be worth about $A2.8 million.

The powder was found secreted in bags of a shipment of shrimp food from India about one week ago in Jakarta. So Far, one Indonesian has been arrested and police are still hunting two Taiwanese nationals.

Announcing the bust yesterday, the Indonesian National Narcotics Bureau said the Australian Federal Police had forwarded it information about the shipment.

Brigadier General Indradi Thanos said the drugs could have reached Australia.
