Woman caught with cannabis in her bra after foil wrappings triggered airport metal detectors

Two women were remanded in custody after being caught with cannabis at Queenstown Airport in New Zealand.

Acting Sergeant Steve Watt, of Queenstown, said a 52-year-old woman was caught after repeatedly setting off a metal detector on her way through security. She had stuffed about 50g of the drug into 28 individually foil-wrapped cannabis bullets inside her bra, he said.



The woman's 44-year-old friend was subsequently spoken to by police. She was wearing tight-fitting clothing and had concealed about 40g of cannabis about her trunk.

The women were attempting to catch a flight to Christchurch, about 480km north-east on the South Island, when apprehended. They face drug charges in the Queenstown District Court.
