A sniffer dog at Sydney Airport flagged a small suitcase, leading Australian Border Force officers to uncover plastic bags concealed in the linings of two travelers’ carry‑ons that contained a total of about 14 kg of heroin. The three men, all aged between 34 and 36 and arriving on flights from Thailand in late April, were charged with importing a commercial quantity of a border‑controlled drug and face up to life imprisonment. One suspect fled the terminal but was subdued by a member of the public and pepper‑sprayed police; he was arrested the same day, while the second was captured five days later in Surry Hills and the third, who had arrived on a separate flight, was also arrested. AFP and ABF officials highlighted the operation as part of ongoing efforts to disrupt drug‑smuggling syndicates and protect Australian communities.
