On Sept 6, at least four alleged drug mules were detained and handed over to anti-narcotics force after the Airport Security Force (ASF) foiled an attempt to smuggle 15 kilograms of methamphetamine (also known in the street as ice or meth) via a flight to Bahrain.

An ASF spokesperson said the four men were attempting smuggle at least 15 kilograms of ice and heroin to Bahrain the previous night but the bid was thwarted.
