    Customs has arrested three alleged drug couriers at Auckland Airport, in two separate smuggling attempts this week

    Customs has arrested three alleged drug couriers at Auckland Airport, in two separate smuggling attempts this week

    The agency has seized an estimated 27 kilos of methamphetamine, worth more than 10-million-dollars.

    In one attempt, two men in their 30s arrived from Canada on New Years Day, and meth was found in a checked in suitcase.

    In the second, unrelated, case a 59-year-old woman arriving from Hawaii, was questioned by Customs.

    They found stiff clothing and testing revealed methamphetamine had been soaked into the clothing.

    The incidents don't appear to be related.
