2 arrested for trying to smuggle crystal meth into Israel in nativity set
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwo men have arrested for allegedly ordering 2 kilos of methamphetamine through the mail, police say.
The suspects purchased the crystal meth from a drug dealer in Mexico, who shipped the drug to Israel concealed inside the figurines of a nativity set, according to a statement.
Police say customs agents who processed the package when it arrived at Ben Gurion airport last week reported it as suspicious and found the drugs.
An undercover police officer delivered the package to a 33-year-old man in Yavne. He and his 41-year-old accomplice were arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking.
