A woman who turned up at the Post Office to pick up a package ended up in jail pending police investigations of drugs found in a package she claimed.

Chief of Customs, Moetului Sipili Fuiava, says a customs canine agent sniffed out crystal methamphetamine in a package.

The woman taken into custody had come to claim the package at the Post Office.

Moetului said the package contained a computer part in which crystal methamphetamine was found.

The methamphetamine weighed about 3 pounds.

Police put the street value of the controlled substance at $150,000.

Customs turned the woman over to police for questioning and she was booked at the Territorial Correctional Facility to await formal charges.
