Ninety-year-old nabbed carrying heroin in Cambodia

A 90-year-old Taiwanese man was arrested in Cambodia yesterday with 1.9kg of heroin strapped to his body as he prepared to board a flight for Hong Kong, police said.

"We became suspicious because he was walking in a funny way. Also his hip looked unusually big, so we checked his body," airport police chief Chhay Bunna told reporters.

Police on Friday arrested another 57-year-old Taiwanese national as he was about to board a flight to Kuala Lumpur. He was carrying 6.5kg of heroin in what appeared to be four bags of sugar.

"We saw him holding four plastic sugar bags. When we asked him about the bags, he seemed shocked. So we decided to check and found heroin," Chhay Bunna said.
