1.6kg of heroin seized at Dubai airport

Smugglers have been caught with a total 1.6kg of heroin at Dubai International Airport, the latest in a string of drug busts made by customs.

In two separate incidents a man from an unnamed African and another from an unnamed Asian country were stopped at the airport after customs officers became suspicious of their behaviour, UAE daily Gulf News reported on Sunday.

The first was found with 77 capsules contained 1.15kg of heroin, while the other was found with six capsules containing 463.6g of the drug.

Last week customs officials caught a man coming from an Asian country with 815.3 grammes of heroin in his stomach, and in July officials discovered 98 capsules containing 938 grams of heroin hidden in the stomach of another passenger coming from Asia.
