Sour end in bid to smuggle cocaine among sweets


No sweet ending: Chik Omar showing a cocaine pellet mixed with chocolates in a candy box. Looking on is KLIA Customs deputy director Yusuf Talib.

SEPANG: A woman thought that smuggling RM622,000 worth of drugs among candy was a sweet idea until she was caught by Cus­toms officers at the KL International Airport.

The 28-year-old South African was transiting from Dubai to Kota Baru, Kelantan, around 9.30am on Sunday when a scan of her bag aroused suspicion.
