    A US woman's faced court accused of trying to smuggle about 11-million-dollars of meth through Auckland International Airport

    A US woman's faced court accused of trying to smuggle about 11-million-dollars of meth through Auckland International Airport


    Customs officers allege they found about 31 kilos of methamphetamine in her checked suitcases, when the 24-year-old arrived on Saturday.

    She's appeared in the Manukau District Court today, and has been remanded in custody until an appearance February.

    Airport Customs Manager, Paul Williams, says New Zealand's being targeted by transnational syndicates, with multiple couriers already intercepted this year.
