Police seize 18 kg of drugs disguised as supplements at Ben Gurion Airport

Israeli police at Ben Gurion Airport seized drugs disguised as dietary supplements from a suitcase. A suspect, a resident of Eilat in his 20s arriving from Berlin, was arrested and remanded.

A resident of Eilat in his 20s was arrested at Ben Gurion Airport after landing on a direct flight from Berlin, when about 16 kg of a substance suspected to be the drug ketamine and an additional 2 kg suspected to be the drug 2CB were seized from his suitcase, disguised as dietary supplements. The suspect aroused the suspicion of detectives from the unit upon landing, and during a covert operation they followed him and stopped him for inspection. During the search, the packages were located, and a test using a dedicated drug identification device raised the suspicion. The substances were transferred to the forensic laboratories of the Israel Police. His detention was extended until Sunday, November 8, for further investigation.
