Man nabbed trying to pick up hashish-lined drum from post office

A man in his sixties was arrested yesterday when he came to a post office to pick up a package from India.

The package contained a darbouka type drum – but one lined with 1.7 kilos of hashish.

A search in the man’s home in the northern Sharon region revealed a cartridge and gun. A computer owned by the man was also confiscated.
