Things not to smuggle into the UK in your underwear: Drugs are bad m'kay?

Unsurprisingly, the UKBA and Customs and Exercise we not impressed with this little antic when an air stewardess for South African Airways -Ms Elphia Dlamini, 42, -  hid  a whopping £120,000 worth of cocaine (about 3kg weight) in her bra and knickers.

She was stopped during a random search with sniffer dogs at Heathrow Airport.

Ms Dlamini pleaded guilty to importation of drugs at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court, and has been sentenced for 7 years in jail.

At least she didn't try this trick at Singapore Changi. There, capital punishment for drug smuggling is the name of the game.
