AN anti-drug trafficking initiative led by the United States Postal Inspection Service on Guam has netted more than 350kg of controlled substances, leading to 29 arrests and seizure of more than $USD550,000 in suspected proceeds from narcotics trafficking over the past four years, according to a postal inspector.
The confiscated illegal drugs included more than 300kg of methamphetamines, the Postal Inspection Service said.
The postal service launched a crackdown on drug trafficking through mail by creating the Guam Interdictions and Anti-Narcotics Trafficking, or GIANT, Task Force in 2021.
The task force was formed with federal and local partners, including the U.S Attorney’s Office, the Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency, the Guam Police Department, and the Guam Army National Guard Counter Drug Programme.
The deputised task force officers from the Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency and the Guam Police Department remain full-time employees of their respective agencies but are credentialed to investigate crimes involving the mail alongside postal inspectors.
