Spanish woman arrested allegedly with 3.1 kgs of 'ice'

A Spanish woman was arrested at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport for smuggling 3.1 kilograms of 'ice' - crystal methamphetamine, police said Tuesday.
Following a tip-off that a drug smuggler will pass through the airport, police Monday afternoon apprehended 52-year-old Maria Neves Garcia Alcaraz, who traveled from Ethiopia's Addis Ababa by an Ethiopian Airline EL608 to Thailand, after they found the 'ice' hidden in her travel bag's bottom. But she claimed that the bag wasn't hers but an African man from Ghana's Accra City gave to her to take to Indonesia's Bali City and that she didn't know the bag had the drug in it. Police charged her for having the drug in possession with intention to sell.
