Alor Setar: The Indian national thought he could hoodwink the Kedah Customs Department by concealing a consignment of syabu, using dozens of brilliantly-coloured plastic bangles.
Like the bangles which are easily breakable, a team of Customs enforcement officers saw through the ruse and cracked his attempt to smuggle the 4.912kg of drug into the country last Sunday.
The 35-year-old suspected drug mule was nabbed at the Sultan Abdul Halim Airport about 3.30pm.
State customs director Datuk Abd Aziz Abdul Latif said the syabu, estimated to be worth about RM933,280, was found in the suspect’s baggage which also contained dozens of plastic bangles.
