Drug smuggler caught

It has been revealed that Prague customs officials arrested a Mexican national smuggling more than three kilograms of cocaine at Prague's international airport at the weekend. The smuggler apparently arrived from Amsterdam. An X-ray check of his luggage revealed a number of record sleeves filled with compressed cocaine. Officials say the cocaine would have sold for four million crowns on the black market, the equivalent of roughly 160,000 dollars US. If found guilty the suspect could face up to five years in prison.
