Busting another modus operandi of international drug transfers, the Narcotics Control Bureau has seized 122 grams drugs from a courier parcel destined for New Zealand, Mumbai Zonal Unit Director Sameer Wankhede said here on Saturday.

Following a tip-off on Thursday, the NCB sleuths swooped on a courier company and seized the parcel containing Amphetamine, a psychotropic substance.

Wankhede said that the drug was concealed in three covers of a hard disk with the intended destination for the packet shown as New Zealand.

He added that Amphetamines are Central Nervous System stimulants, used for recreational purposes, but addictive with a history of abuse and further probe is on.
