A BGB press release said the Teknaf BGB Battalion conducted a joint raid with members of Teknaf Model Police Station at the cargo store of Steadfast Courier Service in the Islamabad area of Teknaf municipality.
During the search, a parcel declared as a Bluetooth speaker aroused suspicion. Upon opening the device, the raiding team found that its electronic components had been removed and replaced with six black tape-wrapped packets containing a total of 11,200 Yaba tablets concealed inside, the release mentioned.
