MANILA: Philippine authorities arrested an Indonesian woman carrying 54 million pesos (RM4.3mil) worth of illegal drugs in her carry-on bag amid a crackdown on drug smuggling attempts.

The Bureau of Customs said Agnes Alexandra was arrested after midnight yesterday at Manila’s airport after authorities found 8kg of methamphetamine, a powerful and highly addictive stimulant, in her bag from a flight from Cambodia’s resort city of Siem Reap.“The suspect says it was given for her to carry, but that is always their story,” Bureau of Customs official Lourdes Mangaoang said at a news conference where the seized drugs and Alexandra were presented.

Last month, Manila airport officials seized a bag and a backpack with methamphetamine that were abandoned at the airport’s arrival area. — AP
