HCM City (VNA) – The Customs Department of Ho Chi Minh City has collaborated with the municipal police to detect three postal consignments containing nearly 8kgs of meth.

Two of the consignments were sent from false addresses from Portugal and the other, from Germany to a fake destination in Ho Chi Minh City through international postal services, which were claimed as personal gifts.
