July 17, Colombo (LNW): A 23-year-old Danish national was arrested at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) on Tuesday night (July 16) while attempting to smuggle a large consignment of the drug known as ‘Kush’, valued at approximately Rs. 57 million.

The woman was apprehended by officers from the Customs Narcotics Division as she attempted to pass through the airport’s Green Channel without declaring any items. Upon inspection, officials discovered 25 airtight packets labeled “Snak” concealed in her suitcase. The packets were found to contain 5.7 kilograms of the narcotic.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect had traveled from Bangkok, Thailand, to Chennai, India, before arriving at BIA on an IndiGo flight at 7:05 p.m. on July 16. Authorities suspect she deliberately attempted to avoid drawing attention during her arrival.

The suspect, along with the seized drugs, has been handed over to the Airport Police Narcotics Bureau for further investigations.
