Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>A 29-year-old Namibian woman was arrested at Hosea Kutako International Airport near Windhoek on Saturday, after more than three kilograms of heroin was allegedly found in her luggage.<\/b><\/p>\n

This was confirmed by the police’s regional commander in Khomas, commissioner Ismael Basson, who said the woman was found in possession of 3,1 kilograms of heroin, with a street-market value of more than N$1,5 million.<\/p>\n

The suspect was scheduled to fly from Hosea Kutako International Airport to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia and then on to New Delhi in India.<\/p>\n

A charge of dealing in dependence-producing drugs has been registered against the woman, who is being detained until a first court appearance this week.<\/p>\n
