After a chase, sleuths of the Q Branch police of Tamil Nadu seized 10 kg of crystal methamphetamine locally known as 'ice' being smuggled to Sri Lanka in a fishing boat by an eight-member gang last night in Tuticorin.

The value of the seized drugs is said to be worth several crores of rupees in the international market.
