A warning has been issued about accepting packages from overseas. Certain individuals are allegedly sending illicit substances to family and friends. These substances are often hidden in larger shipments. Recipients may be unaware of the contents, putting them at risk of arrest.

The warning comes after a trend was noticed involving concealed drugs. Further information is available from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.

Details about the substances being sent are limited, but they are said to include particular strains of cannabis. The agency's media director made the warning public on Sunday.
