Synthetic drugs and psychotropic substances have been discovered concealed inside a Mauritian police vehicle during a routine maintenance check at a dealership in Pailles.

The shocking find was made on Friday, 3 April, by a mechanic tasked with servicing the vehicle.

Upon discovering the illicit substances, the worker immediately alerted the authorities, sparking a high-level investigation by the Anti-Drug and Smuggling Unit (ADSU).
