An Iranian man has been arrested by customs officers at Jakarta's Soekarno Hatta International Airport for allegedly trying to smuggle in a kilogram of methamphetamines worth around Rp 2.3 billion ($252,192).
According to authorities, the suspect was arrested at Terminal 2-D on Wednesday night after arriving in Jakarta on Emirates Airways from Dubai. The meth was hidden inside a folded chessboard. The head of the airport's customs office, Bahaduri Wijayanta, told poskota.com an X-Ray inspection showed suspicious objects inside the board.
Last year, nine Iranians were arrested at Soekarno-Hatta for bringing methamphetamine ingredients inside their luggage. They arrived separately over a three-day period and claimed they did not know each other.
