Iranian arrested at Thai airport with 'ice' valued at Bt20 million
TNA 2011-04-11

BANGKOK, April 11 - Thai police on Monday arrested an Iranian man at Suvarnabhumi Airport for smuggling 6.8 kilogrammes of crystal methamphetamine, also known as 'ice,' worth Bt20 million (US$660,000).

The arrest of Mehdi Nikzad, 27, was a joint operation between Thailand' s Narcotics Suppression Bureau, the Immigration Police and Special Branch Police.

Mr Mehdi, travelling from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, confessed that he was hired by a fellow countryman to smuggle the crystal meth to a Malaysian agent, who was to pay the carrier once the work was completed.

Thirteen bags of the drug, with a total weight of 6.8 kg, were hidden variously in a laptop computer, an aerosol spray can and electrical appliances in order to evade checks by authorities.

The arrest took place in the wake of close surveillance by the Thai police who have been monitoring Iranian, Nigerian and Pakistani drug smuggling syndicates after being informed they might use Thailand as a transit point before delivering the drugs to other Asian countries. (MCOT online news)

A classic example of being 'grassed up'
