Number of female drug carriers rising, most operatives under 30: Kerala Police
New Indian ExpressKOCHI: Amid growing concerns that Ernakulam district is becoming a hub for narcotics, the police have found that persons under the age of 30 form a bulk of the carriers smuggling drugs into the district. A major breakthrough was achieved with the arrest of a Bengaluru woman found possessing 1 kg of MDMA, marking one of the largest single seizures of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances by the Ernakulam Rural police and the district Dansaf team. “There is a trend of drug peddlers preferring females as carriers, believing that they won’t have to undergo serious inspections,” a top police source told TNIE. “Drugs entering Kerala mostly come from Bengaluru, Delhi, Chennai, and Goa, and are primarily targeted at students, professionals in private firms, and celebrities,” the officer pointed out.
