SRS repeatedly informed that in recent months has increased the SRS Customs Police Department launched criminal quantity of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in the movement across the border postal items. Therefore, it is important to realize that mail is being monitored and are subject to all laws and regulations set limits and restrictions on trade and the movement across the state border. Narcotics trafficking is a very serious crime for which criminal liability is provided by imprisonment up to 12 years, so every citizen, particularly young people, to be aware of potentially reckless action consequences, ordering and receiving such mail, recklessly relying on the opportunity to stay fugitives and punishment.

Part of the ongoing criminal proceedings shows that in some cases, criminal groups use the alien personal data and addresses to get these items, so the SRS urges people to report suspicious shipments, especially in cases where the order has been made and the shipment is not expected. We remind you that the SRS free hotline 80009070 work 24 hours a day.

Heavy pills, heh

I think they mean 240mg, and by the sounds of it they could be gold bars or the rolls royce.

Only 100 though? Hardly news, jesus.

check the comments, they take a sample from the outside of the envelope with a collection paper, they spray it and if the colour is right, you're busted.

Envelopes and MBBs must be washed with Isopropyl alcohol before sending them. This spray is real.

They can't spray on them all the time but it is a working method.

It goes the same with airports and especially electronics. Just got my PS3 in my hand luggage and after x-ray, they wiped the surface of the PS3 with a collection paper, they put it in a machine, then BAM BEEP BEEP BEEP a red screen with DRUGS DETECTED written there.

The PS3 is in the same room with a lot of ganja smoke and gets touched by people who touch ganja....So, there I was at Secondary Screening...
