Members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) on Sunday seized over four kg of crystal methamphetamine and 150,000 yaba in a drive in Teknaf upazila of Cox’s Bazar, reports UNB.

Acting on a tip off, a team of BGB-2 intercepted a boat in which a few suspected smugglers from Myanmar were heading towards Jaliar Dwip at around 5:00am, said Commander of Teknaf Battalion (BGB-2) Lieutenant Colonel Sheikh Khalid Mohammad Iftekhar.

The alleged smugglers, however, jumped into the Naf river and managed to escape.

Later, the BGB men seized the crystal meth, yaba and 25 kg of gill nets worth Tk 258.9 million from the boat.
