Man who had 78 kilograms of amphetamine in car charged in Sweden
A man in Sweden has been charged with serious narcotics offences after police found 78 kilos of amphetamine in his car.
In December Gothenburg police stopped a car they had spotted during a reconnaissance mission and inside found the drugs, worth an estimated 20 million kronor ($2.4 million).
The car appeared on the officers' radar in an industrial area of Hisingen, north-western Gothenburg, where they were tracking a foreign truck. Several moving boxes were transferred from the truck to the car, which quickly left the area.
