The Air Intelligence Unit of the Customs department arrested a Tanzanian national and seized amphetamine worth Rs 3 crore allegedly from her possession, an official said today.
The AIU, in a statement, said that Cheche Lulu Hubert was intercepted on a tip-off after she arrived at the international airport here from Johannesburg in South Africa last night.
A search of the accused's baggage led to the recovery of 3.07 kilograms of amphetamine from a specially-made false layer in her trolley bag, an AIU official said.
Amphetamines have been classified as synthetic drugs that stimulate the central nervous system and make the user active and lively.
The Tanzanian national has been arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, the AIU release said.
