Woman Caught Smuggling Meth as Christmas Gifts at NZ Airport

A Canadian woman was arrested at Auckland Airport, New Zealand, for allegedly attempting to smuggle 10.2 kg of methamphetamine disguised as Christmas presents. The meth, valued at $2.2 million, was found in her carry-on luggage. New Zealand Customs highlighted this as a tactic by transnational criminal groups to exploit the busy travel season. The incident underscores the ongoing challenges posed by international drug trafficking and the importance of international cooperation in combating organized crime.
