Maldives customs seized nearly seven kilos of cannabis from two Bangladeshis who flew to the country late last month.
In the first interception, customs officers at the Velana International Airport found 2.05kg of cannabis in the luggage of a 34-year-old Bangladeshi who arrived on June 25. The second seizure was from the luggage of a 19-year-old who arrived four days later.
“Total weight of drugs seized in these cases was 6.87kg, which was also tested positive for cannabis,” customs said Tuesday. “Seized drugs and individuals involved have been handed over to the Maldives Police Service for further investigations.”
