KULAI: A plan to smuggle about RM670,000 worth of syabu as biscuits crumbled when alert policemen at Senai International Airport saw through the ruse.
The two auxiliary policemen became suspicious of a couple waiting to catch a flight at 6am on Friday.
They had the couple’s suitcase scanned and saw what looked like two biscuit tins amongst articles of clothing, said Kulai OCPD Supt Razak Md Said.
The couple refused to open the luggage for inspection and started giving all sorts of excuses, he said.
They were taken to the airport police station where the suitcase was pried open. Supt Razak said there were six plastic packets, believed to contain 5.99kg of syabu crystals, inside the tins.
The husband and wife, both locals, were arrested.
He said the 52-year-old man had taken his wife, 35, to the airport where she was supposed to board a flight to Kota Kinabalu.
