Sri Lankan customs officials at Bandaranaike International Airport uncovered 10 kilograms of cocaine meticulously hidden inside three plush toys, resulting in the arrest of a 38-year-old Thai woman. This marks the largest cocaine seizure at the airport, with the contraband valued at approximately $1.72 million. 'This is the biggest attempt at cocaine smuggling stopped by Sri Lanka Customs at the airport,' stated Customs Additional Director-General Seevali Arukgoda.

The cocaine was ingeniously packed into over 500 plastic capsules, each nestled within the plush toys, showcasing the evolving tactics of drug smugglers. This incident underscores Sri Lanka's strategic role in international drug trafficking routes, with authorities intensifying efforts to combat such sophisticated smuggling methods.

In a surreal twist, the cuddly contraband, valued at $1.72 million, transformed innocent plush toys into unwitting drug mules, highlighting the audacity of traffickers.
