DAILY REPORT
On Tuesday, customs officers found hashish on two passengers who came to Nuuk Airport from Copenhagen.
Tuesday revealed customs officers two cases of trying to smuggle hashish into the country.
Warden Lars Even says that the police received the first report from customs officials at 12.12. Here the customs officials suspected a passenger at Nuuk Airport of having cocaine in his luggage.
The police found no cocaine, but instead 548 grams of hash divided into two packages.
In addition, the authorities also found a thermos and a drinking bottle with some indeterminate liquid, which must be analyzed in more detail in relation to whether it may also contain a euphoric substance.
– We arrest the passenger, and he actually names an accomplice, who we also arrest afterwards. So we have two arrested in that case, says Lars Even.
Shortly after the first report, the police received another report from customs about another passenger who had been on the same flight from Denmark.
The report was about a woman around 70 years old, who also had hashish in her suitcase.
Here, the police weighed the quantity at 296 grams.
The woman was charged with violating the law on intoxicating substances and later released, says the warden.
