Drug traffickers arrested at airport

HCM CITY – (VNS) HCM City-based customs officers seized over five kilos of methamphetamine last week, when they twice swooped on drug traffickers arriving at Tan Son Nhat International Airport.

On Friday, a 29-year-old Vietnamese male was found to have approximately 3.1 kilos of the drug hidden in his suitcase.

Meanwhile on the previous Monday, customs officers caught Chinese national Zhou Bingxue, 22, using a similar trick to smuggle 2.04 kilos of methamphetamine on flight SQ 186 from Singapore to HCM City.

HCM City's Drug Crime Investigation Police Department is conducting further investigations into both cases. – VNS
