Advertiser Staff
Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will join faculty members from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa's Chemistry Department at 10 a.m. today in a media event to display an array of laboratory equipment and chemicals being donated by the agency to the school.The items were seized two years ago as part of a probe into a large-scale methamphetamine production scheme. The case made headlines after authorities discovered significant amounts of liquid methamphetamine and precursor chemicals inside a storage locker under the H-1 Freeway.
Representatives will discuss how UH-Manoa students will benefit from the donation and how federal officials were able to make it come about.
