PUTRAJAYA - Sepang police confiscated a parcel believed to contain a tube of toothpaste infused with cannabis leaf extract addressed to two politicians at a courier hub on Pulau Meranti near here, on Friday (March 10).

Sepang district police chief ACP Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said the raid was carried out following information from a report lodged by an officer at a government office who received a phone call informing them about the parcel.

"Based on the information, it is suspected that the parcel contains a prohibited item,” he said in a statement tonight, adding that the government office also received a parcel containing cannabis leaves last week.

He said the police went to the courier hub and confiscated a brown box containing the tube of toothpaste with a cannabis leaf logo and the words 'Happy Green' written on it.

He said a check revealed that the item was purchased by the sender with an address in Indonesia through an online platform.
