Sri Lanka Foils Multiple Synthetic Cannabis Smuggling Attempts

Sri Lanka Foils Multiple Synthetic Cannabis Smuggling Attempts

Imagine some people tried to sneak a type of fake weed called kush into Sri Lanka.

Customs officers caught them!

They found nearly 60 kilograms of kush.

One woman from Britain, and two men from India and Thailand were arrested.

The British woman said the drugs weren't hers, and she didn't know they were there.

If found guilty, the smugglers could spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Sri Lanka has been used before to smuggle drugs.

This recent bust is one of the biggest at the airport.

Several Iranians were previously sentenced to life in prison for drug smuggling.
