According to a BGB press release, acting on tip-off, a team of BGB-2 conducted a drive at Hariyakhali area of Sabrang border around 11:10pm yesterday, and challenged two persons as they crossed the Naf River with baggage.
Sensing the presence of the BGB team, they discarded the bags and fled the spot, the release added. The patrol team later recovered the crystal meth 'Ice' and a sharp local weapon known as 'Kirich'.
The BGB is currently working to identify the peddlers and has increased the patrolling as a part of the ongoing drive against drug trafficking.
