Maputo Airport:

The Police of Mozambique (PRM) last week seized an abandoned ephedrine package that was rolling along the baggage carousel of Maputo International Airport.The product is a forbidden substance, as is transporting it, due to its narcotic characteristics. The ephedrine package was found on the baggage carousel of Mozambique’s biggest airport, moments after passengers from Ethiopian Airlines had landed.So far, the Mozambican authorities have been unable to identify the individual who abandoned the drug.Ephedrine has a similar chemical structure to amphetamines, and can be used to create methamphetamine. It is thus in great demand among illicit drug dealers as a precursor for the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine.
