ALABAMA — In an effort to ‘remove contraband from U.S. Mail’, multiple Alabama agencies and K9s teamed up with the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) in the final full week of May.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said the week-long search effort took place from May 22-26 and resulted in agencies finding 100 pounds of “non-mailable” items, or controlled substances, in 62 packages.

The items taken in the search included marijuana, cocaine, meth, fentanyl, mushrooms, steroids and other controlled substances, according to ALEA. Another 38 packages were reportedly referred for administrative forfeiture proceedings, which allows the seizing agency to forfeit the property without judicial involvement.
