KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia customs confirmed on Wednesday that they had confiscated some $1.6 million worth of drugs at two different airports and arrested three Indian and one Nigerian in the drug heist. Police told Bikyamasr.com that they are searching for another man, a local Malaysian, in connection to drug smuggling, but would not deliver any further details. A 22-year old Nigerian was arrested Monday after 500 grams of methamphetamines was found in a hidden compartment of his luggage after a flight from Cairo, said Siti Baya Berahan, deputy director of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport Customs Department. Custom officers on Monday also found 10 kilograms of methamphetamines hidden in the floor of a microwave oven that they found suspiciously heavy and arrested one Indian arriving at Kuala Lumpur's Low Cost Carrier Terminal from Kolkata, Siti Baya said. Two more Indians were arrested Monday at the same airport, one on a flight from Kolkata and the other from Bangalore, after about 9 kilograms of the same drug was found in their luggage. Drug trafficking carries the death sentence in Malaysia. The Indian foreign ministry did not return calls from Bikyamasr.com for a comment on Wednesday.
