Ketamine, which is being used as an anaesthetic for people and animals, is allegedly being used by some people to get high.
Ruiz said the package came from Malaysia and was discovered to be containing illegal drugs on Jan. 30.
He said the the Port of Clark immediately issued a Warrant of Seizure and Detention against the shipment. It was on Jan. 31 when the controlled delivery operation was conducted.
