More than three million pills of Erimin have been seized by Taiwan customs, the largest quantity of the drug ever seized on the island, according to the local justice and investigation authority on Wednesday.
The drugs were found hidden in 60 boxes along with office furniture which were ready to be exported to Malaysia in July.
The drugs weighed over 800 kilograms with a street value of about 700 million new Taiwan dollars (23.2 million U.S.dollars).
"[This batch of drugs] can meet the dosage of a population of over three million, which is almost equal to that of Taipei, if based on the calculation of one pill for one person," said Lin Sheng-chih, deputy director of the Investigation Bureau of Keelung.
Two male suspects, surnamed Kao and Wu, were arrested and put under further investigation as the drugs were made at illegal pharmaceutical plants in Taiwan.
Erimin is an intermediate-acting hypnotic drug that should only be bought on prescription.
